How do you aim and throw in ricochet?
On a phone, press the room, drag to aim and let go to throw. A tap without a drag only aims, so you never throw by accident. With a mouse, point to aim and click to throw. On a keyboard, the left and right arrows aim, Shift with an arrow aims finely, and Space or Enter throws.
What do steel, wood, glass, portals and barrels do?
Steel and the room walls bounce the shuriken. Wood stops it and it stays stuck there. Glass bounces it once and then breaks, so later throws pass through. A portal sends it out of its partner in the same direction. A barrel explodes when touched, popping lanterns and breaking wood nearby and setting off other barrels.
How much of the path does the aim line show?
On easy the dashed aim line shows the path through two bounces, on medium through one, and on hard only up to the first thing it hits. Lanterns on the shown path get a ring, so you can see what a throw will pop.
What are par and stars?
Par is how many throws the solver needed. Clear the room at par with no hints for three stars, or in fewer throws than par for three stars and a beat par badge. Within one throw of par with at most one hint earns two stars, and any other clear earns one.
How many throws do I get?
Your throw budget is par plus two spare throws on easy, plus one on medium, and exactly par on hard. Run out before every lantern is down and you can restart the room.
How do hints work?
A hint aims for you at the best throw from where the room stands now and shows its whole path in yellow. Easy gives three hints per room, medium two and hard one.
Do the levels ever end?
No. Levels are endless and get harder as you climb, with more lanterns, more steel and more lanterns that a straight throw cannot reach. The room changes theme every ten levels, from night dojo to gold vault.
Is there a daily ricochet room?
Yes. Today's room is the same for every player on each difficulty, based on the UTC date. Your first clear on each difficulty is the scored one, ranked by fewest throws, then fewest hints, then time. Later attempts are practice.
Can I challenge a friend?
Yes. After a clear, press challenge a friend. The link opens the exact same room for them and shows how many throws they have to beat.
Is ricochet free, and does it work on mobile?
Yes. ricochet is free to play in the browser at onedge.fun on phones, tablets and desktops, with no download and no account. Ads never interrupt a room.
