Capoeira Circle
A joyful original 3D rhythm sport in a colorful roda, with articulated athletes in shirts, long trousers and cords, modeled musicians with berimbau, drum and pandeiro, bunting, trees and a sunlit tiled plaza. Match the moving bead to the gold timing windows: esquiva under a high arc or aú over a low sweep, then return a controlled non-contact flourish. Forty-eight seeded circles last approximately 29–40 seconds. High/low choices start in circle 2, half-beat phrases in 7, inner/outer spacing in 13, returning directions in 19 and varied return intervals in 25. Earn the displayed number of clean escape-and-return phrases; the AI partner uses the same timing, action recovery and spacing checks with seeded imperfect decisions. This is a stylized rhythm game, not official capoeira rules, authentic music or physical instruction. Only original Kit-generated beeps are used. Best scores, stars and unlocked circles save on this device. Daily uses the UTC date and only winning completions advance its streak once per day. Friends compare one identical seeded solo circle each; humans do not fight synchronously in one roda. Pip is the shared platform's scoreboard computer, separate from the on-circle AI partner.
How to play
- Tap Play. Follow the moving bead: press DUCK for HIGH ARC or AÚ for LOW SWEEP when the bead enters the gold window. Keyboard: D/Down ducks; A/Up cartwheels.
- After a successful escape, tap the indicated RETURN arrow on its gold beat. Left/Right keys return; Space returns right. A clean phrase needs both escape and return.
- From circle 13, STEP toggles inner/outer spacing; settle into the displayed target ring before returning. S steps. Escape or P pauses; hidden tabs wait for deliberate Resume.
Tips
- The first three circles allow four missed phrases. An early attempt still uses that action for the phrase: wait for the bead rather than tapping repeatedly.
- Half-beats and shorter returns change timing, not just speed. Watch both gold markers and the returning arrow; the colors are also labeled.
- Use STEP early when its target changes. Distance eases physically between rings, and wrong spacing cannot earn a clean return. Pause, retry the same seed or return Home whenever needed.
Questions
Is this combat, and can another person control my partner?
No health bars, damage or contact scoring are used. Solo is a flowing dance challenge with a simulated partner. Friends independently play the same seeded solo challenge and compare skill scores; the shared platform supplies rooms, Pip and the final podium.
What is saved, and how does Daily work?
Best score, highest unlocked circle and the best earned stars for each circle persist through Kit.store. Unfinished animation frames do not save. Everyone gets the same UTC-date-seeded Daily circle. Only an achieved win earns a streak day, never more than once that UTC date; missed days reset the next earned streak to one.
Why did a timed return miss?
A return also needs a successful escape in the same phrase, the displayed direction and settled physical spacing in the target ring. Keep dancing into the next phrase; there is no damage or elimination.
What if the browser loses its 3D graphics?
A visible WebGL recovery panel explains the problem and offers Reload circle. Earned progress remains saved. Hidden tabs and page restoration pause rather than silently continuing a run.
