GridPawRotate Rings Level 1 Walkthrough: one turn, one burst
Level 1 is a two-piece tutorial: one blue C-shape and one orange C-shape. Turn the orange segment clockwise (a hand icon guides you), the loop closes, and it bursts at ≈0:04.5 for a final score of 400.
Watch the full solution.

Level 1 wave map.
The board holds exactly two segments (a blue C-shape on the left and an orange C-shape on the right), with the tutorial hint "Rotate the ring into the correct position to unlock it." A hand icon taps the orange piece and shows the clockwise direction.

The orange segment swings clockwise, meets the blue segment, and the two form a complete circle. The loop holds for a beat so you can see it, then bursts into blue and orange particles with a "Great!", and the squirrel celebration closes the level at 400 points.

What Level 1 asks of you.
Two pieces, one decision. The board carries a blue C on the left and an orange C on the right, both free to turn, with no third piece and no anchor ring anywhere: the tutorial's hand icon does the teaching instead. The score ladder is a single step: 0 straight to 400 at ≈0:04.5, with nothing in between to measure progress against. The ending repays a close look: the closed loop holds for a beat so the seam stays visible, then splits into blue and orange particles under a "Great!", and the squirrel celebration closes the level.
Only the orange half moves. Trust the hand, spin that one clockwise, and let the blue piece sit exactly where it is; its open end is already where the loop wants to meet, and turning it would only break the simplest alignment on the board.
What Level 1 teaches.
- Rotation is the whole game. Every level, from this two-piece board up, is solved by spinning loose segments until same-color open ends meet.
- Closed loops always burst. When a loop completes, it pops on its own. There is no separate "confirm" step.
- Watch the hand. Early levels guide you with a hand icon; later levels leave you to find the piece that holds nothing.
