How to play
- Goal
- Break every sentinel rune in the arena with ricocheting spells.
- How it ends
- Clear all runes to win; running out of spells or ninety seconds ends the attempt.
- Record
- Each arena keeps your fastest clear and fewest spells, with separate named records.
- Drag to aim, then press Cast. Bronze walls and mirrors give a ricochet charge; each little gold crystal above a rune asks for one charge. Stone absorbs a spell. The worked picture follows a cast to a wall and back into a charged rune.
- Match Ember or Frost to a colored core; ivory cores accept either. A colored mirror changes the spell to its element. A rotating shield must be hit through its visible gap.
- Read the trail left by your last shot and adjust. One spell can break several runes. Cleanse every rune within the chamber's spell allowance and ninety seconds.
- Revisit any arena to improve time or spells independently. Pausing, leaving the tab or a long browser stall makes the attempt local; personal bests still save.

About Runeforge Ricochet
An apprentice of Orenvalt cleanses miniature rune courts with banked spells. Bronze walls and crystal mirrors reflect the shot; stone pillars absorb it. A spell passes through the runes it breaks, so one cast can chain several hits.
Fifty different layouts span Ember Foundry, Moonstone Cloister, Verdant Crucible, Frostglass Vault and Ashen Crown. Later courts combine elemental cores, changing mirrors, rotating shield gaps and moving shutters. All five chapters are open.
