Skill meets surprise.
The controls are simple. The answer is yours. Read the return, choose a build, and find the line through a field that never stays still.
Shape the run
Pick upgrades after waves. Add balls, slow the field, widen your catch, or charge a stronger Blast.
Find the route
Portals, lift pads, banks, moving tables, and concentric paddles turn every return into a new problem.
Face the roster
Geometric bosses open different lanes and punish autopilot. Clear wave 10, then keep going into endless play.
One more run.
Runs are short enough to restart and deep enough to remember. Your Journal keeps the discoveries; the next run asks a different question.
Place the catch
Move the paddle and turn a clean return into your first opening.
Choose the angle
Take a build choice that changes the way your next wave behaves.
Clear the cluster
Trigger Blast, read the boss, and carry your run beyond the opening course.
Play the next
line.
Replay a Run code, start the Daily run, or try a Challenge rule after your first clear. No two runs need the same solution.
Before your first run.
- What is AFTERARC: Ricochet?
- AFTERARC is an orbital arcade game for iPhone and iPad. Move a crescent paddle around the arena, return the ball into crystal targets, choose upgrades, and adapt to bosses and hazards.
- What makes AFTERARC a skill challenge?
- Your catches shape the next shot. Aim a center or edge return, read moving targets, and adjust to each boss. Standard and Relaxed modes let you choose the pace.
- Can I try different upgrade builds?
