A downloadable game for Windows

You're the new ferris wheel operator!

Plan your moves carefully, discover which animals work best together, and unlock powerful synergies to reach your daily goals.

60 animals variants

12 animals with unique abilities and 4 modifiers

How to play

Load animals onto the wheel, let them accumulate points while riding, then unload them to collect those points. Meet your daily point target to keep your job!

Queue Management

You see the next 3 animals waiting in line:

- Load: Drag any animal to the bottom cart (when empty)

- Skip: Drag any animal to the right of the wheel (uses one daily skip)

- When an animal leaves, the queue advances and a new animal appears

Wheel Operation

Rotate the wheel 1, 2, or 3 steps using the buttons or number keys. Each rotation uses your limited daily steps and advances time.

Points & Progression

- Animals in the bottom cart unload automatically when the wheel stops, giving you their accumulated points

- Animals have base points and special abilities (hover to see details)

- Animals left on the wheel at day's end subtract their points from your score

- Meet the daily point target to advance; fail and you're fired

- Each new day has higher targets, more rotation steps, and more skips
