About this game
Roll the die, hop your critters from lily pad to lily pad and race them all the way round the moonlit pond to the Moon Lotus in the middle. Ripple Rally is the classic ludo-style race game with a splash of its own: land on a lonely rival and SPLASH, it swims all the way back to its burrow.
Pick your critter: a Duckling, a Frog, an Axolotl or a Kingfisher. Roll a 6 to bring a new critter out of its burrow and roll again. Tap a glowing critter to hop it, and with only one choice it hops by itself. Lotus pads are safe, two of your critters on one pad make a wall nobody can splash, and only an exact roll brings a critter home.
Ways to play
- Pond Tour: 12 stops against CPU rivals, from a gentle Reed Bank to the Moon Lotus Cup, with three stars to earn at every stop
- Vs CPU: 1 to 3 rivals, Easy, Normal or Hard, Quick (2 critters, about 5 minutes) or Classic (4 critters)
- Pass & Play: 2 to 4 players on one phone, perfect for the sofa or the back seat
- Online tables with real players when you play on nixcapegames.com: the server rolls every die and checks every hop. Nobody around, or playing in the app? Empty seats are filled by computer rivals, always marked CPU
- Daily Riddle: the same position and the same dice for everyone, every roll known in advance. Plan your hops and bring every critter home within the roll limit
House rules your way
- Need a 6 to start, or a 1 or 6
- Roll again on a 6 (three sixes in a row end your turn)
- Must splash when you can
- Bonus roll for a splash or for bringing a critter home
