About Ringo Starfish
Ringo is a starfish on a treasure hunt, and the island he is exploring is built like an old arcade platformer. Ledges, traps and enemies stand between him and the crystals, and he is armed well enough to argue with most of what he meets.
Checkpoints are the part worth knowing about. They break the island into stretches, so a bad death costs you a section rather than the whole run, and that changes how much risk a jump is worth. It plays at 800 by 600 on a phone or a desktop.
How to play
- Move Ringo across the platforms of the island.
- Shoot the enemies that get in the way.
- Watch for traps between one ledge and the next.
- Collect the crystals and reach the next checkpoint.

Tips
- Reach a checkpoint before you go after an awkward crystal. Banking progress first makes the risk cheap.
- Clear the enemies on a platform before you land on it. Fighting on the ground beats fighting in mid air.
