Kiln
Turn the bezel. Fill the ring. A falling-block puzzle for your wrist.
Live
A round screen deserves a round well.
Maker's note
I caught myself spinning my watch bezel for no reason. In a meeting, in a queue, my hand is there and the thing turns. If I was going to turn it that much, it might as well do something.
But putting a square game on a round screen does not work. In Kiln the well is round too: blocks fall from the centre outward to the rim, and the ring has no ends, so there is no wall to get stuck against. The bezel is not imitating arrow keys here — the angle you turn to is the position of the piece.
Once it was built that way the game found its own tension: taking rings one at a time is safe, holding your nerve and taking three at once is worth several times as much. I did not have to add a rule for that. The shape brought its own.
What it does
The bezel is not a substitute for arrow keys, it is the position
Blocks fall from the centre outward to the rim. Turning the bezel carries the piece around the ring, and the ring has no ends: there is no wall to get stuck against and no edge to run out of. On a round screen this is the shape the game wanted to be all along.
The safe clear, or the greedy one
Complete a full ring and it burns away, and everything above it drops outward. Take one ring at a time and you stay safe. Hold your nerve, keep stacking, take three or four at once, and you score several times as much. That is the whole game.
- Eight slots around, eight layers deep
- The next shape is shown at the angle it enters
- A ghost marks where the piece will land, with a short grace period
- Vibration and sound carry the timing; the rate tells you what is happening, never the loudness
Requirements
Requires a Wear OS watch with a rotating bezel or a rotating crown. The game is played entirely with that input and will not work on touch-only watches.
