Ringmania 2 is a brand new skill game designed by JP, a French developer who previously designed Rebonds (read this post) and Ringmania.

In this game, you control with your mouse a set of black bubbles (magnets) and brown bumpers, connected together by invisible links.

Each level comes with a different set, including some colored rings connected to the black bubbles.

When new rings appear during the game, the black bubbles attract them while they bounce on brown bumpers. Floating rings get stuck on black bubbles or on rings already stuck on black bubbles.

The goal of the game is to clear the playfield of all rings by connecting three or more rings of the same color to make them explode.

To add some stress, left and right borders of the playfield get closer each time a ring leave the screen: you must clear each of the 22 stages before you can’t move your set of bubbles.

Note: as the game includes a level editor, we could expect that JP add new levels in a near future.

I was a little confused the first time I played with Ringmania 2; but soon and with some practice, I discovered a much more entertaining and subtle game than the first opus, Ringmania.

With nice graphics, a very good physics implementation and sweet background music, Ringmania 2 is really an addictive game. Don’t start playing with Ringmania 2 if you just want to relax for a five to ten minutes break. Consider instead having fun with Rebonds.

But if you are prepared to spend hours playing with rings and magnets, this is the one.
