About Cerkio
Cerkio is a minimalist ball game drawn in flat purple, pink and black, with jagged triangles and black rings cut by a single line. The title screen holds four round green buttons: a large play arrow in the middle, a music note and a speaker on either side for the sound, and a power symbol at the bottom. Behind play sits a level grid of eighteen circles, three across and six down, with an arrow at the right edge that leads to more.
Only the top-left circle is white at the start, and a line inside it turns steadily like a clock hand; the other circles stay dark until you get to them, so levels open in order. There are 30 in all, each about launching a ball into a target at the right moment with a single press, and the layouts grow more complicated as you progress. Soft, calming music runs underneath, which suits a game that is entirely about patience and timing.

How to play Cerkio
Objective
Clear the 30 levels in order by launching the ball into the target with one well-timed press each time, turning the next circle on the grid white.
Controls
Desktop
- Click the green play arrow: open the level grid
Getting started
- On the title screen, press the large green play arrow in the middle; the music-note and speaker buttons beside it only change the sound.
- The level grid shows eighteen circles; choose the white one in the top-left corner, because it is the level open to you first.
- Later, use the arrow at the right edge of the grid to reach the remaining levels, since the full set runs to 30.
- Inside a level, watch the moving parts for a while before you commit, because each launch is a single press and its timing decides everything.
Tips
- Count beats before pressing. A launch is one press, so watching a moving part for two or three cycles and pressing on the same beat is more reliable than reacting.
- The turning line inside the unlocked circle on the grid is a good rhythm check: if you can call its position in advance, you are ready for the levels.
- Only white circles on the grid can be played, so if you want a later level, the way there is clearing the one before it.
- The music-note and speaker buttons on the title screen work separately, so you can keep the calm soundtrack and silence only the effects if they break your concentration.

Cerkio FAQ
How many levels does Cerkio have?
There are 30. The grid behind the play button shows eighteen circles per page with an arrow at the right edge for the rest. Only the white circle can be played at first, and the others open as you clear levels.
What do the white and black circles on the Cerkio level grid mean?
The white circle is the level you can play now; on a first visit that is the top-left one, with a line turning slowly inside it. Black circles are levels you have not reached yet, and the arrow at the right edge leads to the rest of the 30.
How do you launch the ball in Cerkio?
Cerkio uses one-touch controls: a single click or tap sends the ball, and the whole skill is picking the moment. That makes it comfortable with one hand on a phone, with all of the challenge in timing rather than in complicated inputs.
