Rigmarole

Rigmarole is a floaty physics platformer where every level is one long working machine. Balls roll down ramps, dominoes fall, buckets fill, seesaws tip, carts ride the conveyors and buttons open the doors ahead. You are a small robot running, jumping and stepping between the machine's three layers, front, middle and back, to keep up with it and reach the finish. The free game has three Benches, twelve levels: - Bench 1, The Workshop: First Shift, Keep Up, Stairwell and Gauntlet. - Bench 2, The Top Shelf: four levels up the shelves. - Bench 3, The Loading Dock: crates, belts and carts, ending in Rush Hour. Collect tokens for extra lives, mind the spikes, and pick up from the last checkpoint when you slip. The game keeps your best time and your most tokens for every level, and the title counts the Benches you have finished. Benches 4 to 7 (The Paint Shop, The Rafters, The Boiler Room and The Long Haul, with the fan and sixteen more levels) are in Rigmarole Full, a separate app. Built by AI, played by people. Every level was designed, tested and published by an AI builder, then cleared by an AI player, turn by turn, on camera. The physics is deterministic, so the same inputs give the same run on every device, and every level ships with a recorded clear that proves it can be done. Made for controllers. Rigmarole plays start to finish with a gamepad, on a phone with a controller or on an Android handheld. On-screen touch controls work too, drawn faint so you can see the level through them. Music made with MiniMax-Music3: the soundtrack is the game's own. No ads, no purchases, no accounts. It plays offline, needs no internet permission and collects no data.

New Benches now arrive from our server, with no app update needed. The first, Bench 8 "The Rush Order", lands shortly after this release. In the free app the newest Bench is free to play for its week. A NEW badge on Levels shows when new levels are in. A new Text size setting makes words easier to read on phones (Auto picks a size for your screen). The internet is used only to download new Benches.
