Ricochet Knight
Fusing pinball trajectory physics with turn-based tactical combat, Ricochet Knight sends your miniature armor-clad hero hurtling across monster-infested chambers. Instead of marching along standard tile grids, you drag backward, aim your bounce trajectory, and release to send your warrior ricocheting off cavern walls, glowing crystals, and enemy swarms. Clearing stages demands calculating elastic angles, prioritizing ticking attack counters, and managing permanent hero upgrades.
Slingshot trajectories, environmental bounces, and turn timers
Mastering the slingshot release loop requires treating every chamber like a lethal billiards table.
Drag-and-release aiming and multi-hit geometry
Executing a launch is simple: click or touch your knight, pull back to set force, and line up the trajectory arc. The real skill lies in finding geometric angles that maximize bounce count. Banking shots off jagged rocks or bouncy crystal formations allows your hero to strike multiple enemies in a single turn. Lining up indirect bank shots often yields far higher total damage than launching straight into a front-line monster.
Attack counter timers and world hazards
- Ticking enemy counters: Every monster features an attack countdown overhead; when it hits zero, they strike. Eliminate low-counter targets first to prevent taking turn damage.
- 4 unique realm environments: Battle across 24 distinct stages spanning lush green woods, hazard-filled crystal caves, treacherous frozen peaks, and the fiery Dragon's Castle.
- 4 realm Boss encounters: Massive stage-ending bosses require precise multi-bounce trajectory positioning to hit hidden weak spots behind armored shields.
Permanent upgrades, star milestones, and endless tower
- Gold economy upgrades: Reinvest collected stage gold into permanent damage, health pool, and bounce speed enhancements between dungeon runs.
- Hero roster star unlocks: Earn three-star completion ratings on stages to unlock new hero archetypes featuring distinct weight, size, and ricochet properties.
- Endless tower survival: Test your angle calculations in scaling survival floors to climb competitive global scoreboards.
Tactical tips for ricochet knights
- Aim for corner pockets to trigger infinite pinball bounces: Launching your hero into tight wall corners surrounded by enemies creates rapid multi-hit combos.
- Prioritize crystal bounces over direct hits: Bouncing off environmental crystals often accelerates your knight, increasing impact damage against heavy foes.
- Upgrade base damage before health: Wiping out enemy clusters before their turn counters reach zero completely mitigates the need for a massive health bar.
How to play
Drag back to aim. The dotted line shows where the knight will bounce. Let's go to dash. Every monster you hit takes damage; fast hits deal more. The number on a monster shows how many of your dashes are left before it attacks.
