Ice Ribbon
Ice Ribbon is an original guidance-assisted figure-skating game, not a lane racer or a free-physics sports simulator. Drag a two-axis edge pad to keep your pearl on the moving diamond: horizontal movement controls blade lean and vertical movement controls speed. Lean error moves the articulated skater away from the curved ribbon; speed changes actual travel and flow quality. Slow and center before each golden spin window, then hold POSE long enough to earn a spin. There are 48 seeded, individually achievable routines lasting 32–44 seconds. The first three have forgiving flow requirements; reverse-edge figures arrive in routine 9 and sustained spiral poses in routine 17. Earn saved stars, unlock routines and improve your best score. A snow-ringed pond has procedural benches, railings, lanterns and trees, bounded blade trails and ice scratches. UTC Daily gives everyone the same routine and advances a streak only for a win, once per date. Friends rooms compare separate identical seeded solo routines; human skaters do not share the pond.
How to play
- Drag anywhere inside the LEAN / EDGE pad. Move sideways to lean and up or down to change speed. Match your round pearl to the diamond; release to coast at those settings. Arrow keys are an alternative.
- As a spin approaches, center the pearl and slow down. When GOLD WINDOW appears, hold POSE or Space while centered. Release when the window ends.
- Meet both the flow percentage and required spins before the heat ends. Reverse edges arrive at routine 9; hold the indicated SPIRAL pose from routine 17. Pause to resume, retry the same routine or return to the rink.
Tips
- Small corrections beat wild swings: blade lean and speed ease toward your input, so anticipate the moving diamond.
- Set your centered, slow approach before touching POSE. You can release the pad and use the same thumb to hold the pose button.
- Holding a pose outside its marked section lowers flow. Stars reward cleaner skating, not just collecting the minimum number of spins.
Questions
Are friends skating together in one rink?
No. Each human plays one identical seeded 36-second solo routine and compares whole-number scores through the shared room scoreboard. The optional Pip character is the shared platform score-following computer, not a physically simulated skater.
What is saved, and how does Daily work?
Best score, unlocked routines, per-routine stars and Daily streak are stored on this device. The UTC date determines the Daily seed. A winning Daily advances the streak at most once that UTC date; losses do not count and a skipped date resets the next earned streak to one.
What happens when I leave the page or WebGL fails?
Hiding the tab pauses the routine and requires deliberate resume. Back/forward cache restoration also pauses. Animation frames are not saved across a fresh reload. Missing WebGL or context loss displays an actionable reload message; earned progress remains saved.
