Mochi Rings

Mochi Rings is a free, candy-coated Tower of Hanoi puzzle: lift the rings one at a time and rebuild the whole sweet stack on the glowing goal peg — without ever resting a bigger ring on a smaller one.

About Mochi Rings

Mochi Rings is a cute, pastel take on the classic Tower of Hanoi puzzle. A row of candy pegs rises from a glossy base bar, and a tower of glossy rings starts stacked largest-to-smallest on one peg. Your job is simple to say and satisfying to solve: move the entire tower onto the peg marked by a pulsing glow and a hovering star. The catch is the one golden rule of Hanoi — you can only ever move the top ring of a peg, one ring at a time, and you may never set a larger ring down on a smaller one. Every legal drop thunks into place with a soft candy chime, and the goal peg counts your progress as the tower climbs back into order.

The puzzle grows with you. Mochi Rings has 20 hand-tuned levels spread across five candy worlds — Berry, Citrus, Mint, Ocean, and Galaxy — that ramp from a gentle three-ring tower up to towering seven-ring stacks, and add a helpful fourth peg from the Ocean world on so the big towers stay fair. Past the curated set, an endless mode keeps generating fresh four-peg puzzles that never repeat, each with its own colour theme and layout. Because every position is a true Tower of Hanoi instance, every level is always solvable, and a one-tap Undo plus a Restart mean you can experiment freely and never get stuck. Clearing any level lights up all three stars.

How to play Mochi Rings

Pick a level from the level-select grid, or jump into endless puzzles once you have cleared the 20 curated levels.
Tap a peg to lift its top ring — it rises and hovers, ready to be placed, while legal destination pegs gently pulse.
Tap a second peg to drop the ring there; you can also press a peg and drag the ring straight onto another peg.
Remember the rule: a ring can only land on an empty peg or on a larger ring — try to stack a big ring on a small one and it bounces back with a buzz.
Work the whole tower over to the glowing goal peg (the one with the hovering star and counter) one ring at a time.
Stack all the rings on the goal peg to win, earn your three stars, then tap Next to continue the candy climb.

Tips & strategy

Think backwards from the goal: the biggest ring has to move to the goal peg first, so keep that peg clear for it until the moment it is ready.
The spare peg (or the fourth peg in later worlds) is your workspace — use it to park smaller rings while you free up the big one underneath.
There is a rhythm to Hanoi: to shift a tower of N rings, you first move the top N-1 rings out of the way, slide the bottom ring across, then bring the stack back on top.
If a move feels wrong, undo it right away — Undo costs nothing and there is no move limit, so it is always safe to back up and try a cleaner path.
Watch for the pulsing pegs while a ring hovers: they show you exactly which drops are legal, so you never have to guess and eat a buzz.
Stuck part way through? Restart and replay the level slowly — once you spot the repeating move-the-smaller-stack-aside pattern, even the seven-ring towers become routine.
