About the Game


Simply Rotate is a physics based puzzle game where you rotate the level to get a ball to the goal while conserving rotation for future levels.

Think outside the box and efficiently rotate the world so you can complete complex puzzles.


Rotate Your World

Rotate the level while avoiding obstacles and trying to conserve rotation. Build up speed and carefully navigate through levels with different challenges and mechanics.

Think Outside the Box

Think carefully about how to solve levels using the least amount of rotation possible. Get taken up in the simple lo-fi aesthetic and relaxing ambient music.

Compete for the Fastest Time

Test your skills in the time frenzy mode. Speed through levels while making sure to conserve enough rotation.



This game was made as a final project for the game prototyping class at the University of Southern California. The game was initially designed as a prototype by David Xu and Letitia Napitupulu to be simple enough to not need text to go along with the unit on accessibility. Simply Rotate was then further developed into a final project for the class with Andre Lebecki and Kelly Chan helping out with development. The game will now continue to be developed into a more complete experience with Calvin Thompson composing the music.
