Structurally it follows Balatro closely, but you are rolling marbles.

It doesn't offer the incredible variety of Balatro and the graphics are a bit lackluster, but there is still plenty and the graphics are perfectly functional, not interfering with game play.

The dexterity elements here are actually pretty minor - which I was happy about - I couldn't plan second and third order effects with precision but I could put a marble where I wanted to pretty easily.

The runs were refreshingly short - I find a lot of these games in this category run a bit long each time - Ringer is snappy and fast.

Overall I very much enjoyed it, it was fresh and fun!

Really addictive and fun game, definitely worth the money. Once you start a run, it’s really hard to put it down. I do wish there were some meta-progression, but I guess the developer never intended the game to be played from that perspective. It’s a cute one-off. If you’ve got two hours to spare, this game will make it feel like only five minutes have passed.
