About Rotate Cups
Rotate Cups is a clever physics puzzler that flips the usual ball-rolling formula by putting control in the angle of the cups rather than the trajectory of the ball. You tilt and spin cup-shaped ramps to channel rolling balls toward their correct targets, and the chain of cause and effect makes every solution feel earned. The game starts gently and builds toward genuinely tricky configurations that demand forward thinking and a good sense of how gravity interacts with curved surfaces. There's a quiet satisfaction to watching the ball roll smoothly into place after you've sussed out the right arrangement.
How to Play
Tap or click on a cup to rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise. Position the cups so that they form connected ramps guiding the ball from its starting point into the correct target cup. You can rotate cups before or during the ball's movement, so quick adjustments mid-roll are sometimes the key to success.
Tips & Tricks for Rotate Cups
- Plan your full cup arrangement before releasing the ball so you aren't scrambling to rotate mid-roll.
- Cups facing at sharp angles can redirect balls in unexpected directions — use that to your advantage on tight levels.
- If the ball keeps missing, try rotating the receiving cup slightly to widen the effective catch zone.
