Rough and Tumble

A little cut. A lovely tumble.

A woodland physics puzzle about knowing what to keep—and when to let it go. Round little creatures tumble into a hollow in growing groups. Matching faces merge into bigger characters, building up value. Slice through the pile to collect it, open a gap, and set off a cascade.

You have three swipes. One returns every four seconds. Make each path count: a single stroke can collect a whole cluster, and cutting Fizz sets off a satisfying chain explosion. Keep a big bear for its points, or let two bears come together and disappear to make room.

The woods keep getting busier. Bigger groups, shorter breaks, and less room to hesitate. How much can you gather before the bowl overflows?

Play: drag with a mouse or swipe on a touch screen. Tap a single face to cut it. Three dots near your pointer show your remaining swipes. Escape pauses; music, sound and gentle-motion controls are in the pause menu.

Eight woodland characters, reactive expressions, hand-inked art, a soft procedural soundtrack, five achievements and a high-score board on Inkwell.
