Vortex Tiles
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
