VORTEX TILES is an infinitely escalating arcade game built around 

one pure mechanic: rotate your paddle to keep the ball alive.

But there's no straight walls here. The arena is a circle. The tiles 

are rings. The ball bounces inward through layer after layer of 

glowing neon — and every miss costs a life.

TIPS

──────────────────────────────

- Hit the ball at the edge of your paddle to curve its angle

- Bomb tiles (★) chain-destroy neighbours — aim for clusters

- Regen tiles come back after ~6 seconds — clear them last

- Combos reset when you hit the paddle, not the tiles — 

  the real skill is keeping the ball bouncing tile-to-tile
