Desert Mirage

Desert Mirage is a warm, one-thumb desert-at-dusk colour-hop arcade game.

A sun-warmed orb hovers at the foot of a tower of slowly spinning rings, out where the dunes meet a dusk-violet sky. Every ring is split into four mirage colours -- sun-gold, terracotta, cactus teal and dusk magenta -- and they turn endlessly in the evening wind. Tap anywhere to lift the orb up through the shimmering air; the desert heat pulls it back down, so keep tapping to climb toward the horizon. The twist: the orb is one of those four colours, and it can only slip up through the arc of a ring that matches it. Hover just beneath a ring, read the spin, wait for your colour to swing into your path, then rise clean through the gap. Brush the wrong colour and you lose a sun.

Cross a ring and the orb instantly recolours at random -- one moment sun-gold, the next teal -- so you have to read your new colour and re-plan on the fly. Gold stars hang in the dusk between some rings; rise through them for bonus points and a higher score. Work your way across ten hand-tuned dunes that spin faster, reverse direction and stack the rings closer together the deeper you go, and chase a new best score on every one.

Features:
- One-tap controls -- play the whole game with a single thumb
- 10 dunes that unlock one at a time, each tougher than the last
- Four-colour spinning rings you must match to rise through
- An orb that recolours after every ring you cross
- Bonus stars and a per-dune best-score caravan log
- A clear built-in guide to reading the sands
- Fully offline: no ads, no sign-in, no internet, no accounts

Quick crossings, pure colour-matching focus -- drop in for a minute or chase a glowing high score all the way to the horizon.
