Campaign update 0.2.0 — three venues, a new foundry arena, mastery rewards and a harder final champion. Existing career progress is preserved.

Wind it up. Hit like hell.

Below the abandoned West Drainage Works, the lights still come on every Friday. Welcome to The Sump: a battered industrial ring, the first stop in a three-venue circuit, and a crowd that only cares which top is still spinning.

RIP//RING is an original spinning-top arcade battler. Time your launch, carve around your opponent, and spend your spin on a boost that lands. Heavy collisions, rail scrapes and sparks meet a worn-down late-90s look.

Earn your place on the circuit

  • The Circuit: three venues: The Sump, The Switchyard and The Crucible. Defeat ten main rivals, earn scrap, build four original tops with eight tuning parts, complete mastery goals and unlock three optional Iron Contracts.
  • Last Call: truly endless survival. Tour a new venue every eight waves, keep spinning through escalating encounters and put your best score on the wall.
  • Local Versus: two players on one screen. Use two controllers, keyboard + controller, or a shared keyboard.

Quick Bout lets you try every stock top and venue. A short hands-on tutorial teaches the essentials. Settings include graphics quality, UI scale, reduced motion, audio and controller options.
