Lift every ember from one brazier and sow them clockwise. The brazier that takes the last ember flares and burns all it holds.
A ring of braziers
Stone braziers stand in a ring, each holding a few glowing embers. Pick one, and you lift every ember it holds. They fall one by one into the next braziers, always clockwise, one ember per brazier.
The brazier that catches the last ember flares. Everything inside it burns away, the new ember included. Every other brazier keeps what it was given.
Burn the ring cold
A ring is cleared when no ember is left. Each ring allows only a few sows, shown at the top. Burning the biggest pile right away is rarely the answer: a good sow feeds the brazier that the next sow will land on, so the embers gather exactly where you need them.
Five rings grow from five braziers to eight. The first gives you a spare sow to learn the flow. From the second ring on, every sow counts and only a precise order burns the ring cold.
Controls
- Tap a brazier to preview its sowing: the braziers it feeds are marked, the landing brazier glows orange, and the centre shows how much it will burn.
- Tap the same brazier again, or tap Sow, to sow.
- Tap Undo to take back the last sow, or Restart to reset the ring.
- Tap Next when every ember has burned.
