Quick answer

Level 4 runs four colors (purple, green, red and blue) around fixed full-circle anchors. Five-plus bursts from ≈0:39 to ≈1:07 land the score at 2,200, closing with a “Great!” on the green loop. A firework booster is offered along the way. This run never needed it.

Level 4 wave map.

Read the board · ≈0:33 ★ 2s ±2s Fixed circles anchor the board

Level 4 adds full-circle anchor pieces: closed loops that sit fixed while the C-shaped segments rotate around them. Four colors all route through those anchors: purple, green, red and blue. A “Tap to select Firework!” prompt offers a booster at ≈0:37; this clear never used it.

Waves 1–3 · 0:39–0:51 ★ 2s ±2s Opening bursts build the ladder

The score climbs 0 → 300 (≈0:41) → 550 → 850 (≈0:51): at least three bursts, with the purple loop confirmed popping at ≈0:51. The fixed circles do not turn: routes have to be built around them, which is what makes the early bursts satisfying.

Waves 4–5 · 1:03–1:07 ★ 2s ±2s Green loop closes it out. “Great!”

The endgame lands two more bursts: score 1,100 → 1,400 (≈1:05, green loop) → and the closing “Great!” at ≈1:07 takes Level 4 to 2,200.

What Level 4 asks of you.

Level 4 is where the board stops being all loose pieces. Full-circle anchors arrive (closed rings that stay put while purple, green, red and blue C-shapes rotate around them), and a “Tap to select Firework!” prompt appears at ≈0:37 without ever being used in this clear. From there the ladder runs in two clusters: 0 to 300 (≈0:41), 550, 850 (≈0:51, where the purple loop is confirmed popping), then a gap, then 1,100, 1,400 on the green loop (≈1:05), and 2,200 as the closing “Great!” lands at ≈1:07. Six score steps, four colors, one booster left untouched.

Plan routes through the gaps between anchors rather than fighting them, because a fixed ring will not turn for you. And treat the firework as a convenience rather than a requirement: this board was finished with it still unused.

FAQ.

How do you beat Rotate Rings Level 4?

Keep closing loops around the fixed full-circle anchors — they never turn, so every route bends around them. The verified run landed five-plus bursts between 0:39 and 1:07 for 2,200 points, no boosters needed.

What is the firework booster in Rotate Rings?

At ≈0:37 the game offers a firework booster (“Tap to select Firework!”). It is optional — the verified Level 4 clear never used it. Boosters like the hammer and firework are there for when a board stalls.

What score does Rotate Rings Level 4 give?

2,200 in our run: 0 → 300 → 550 → 850 → 1,100 → 1,400 → 2,200 with the closing Great!
