About Spiro
Relax making drawings with amazing circular patterns. Switch between sizes and colors. The possibilities are many!
How to play Spiro
Press play and the first round teaches you the rest. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Expect the first attempt to be a write-off; that is normal here.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Navigate menus and interact |
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move |
| Spacebar | Primary action |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
Spiro is easy to start and harder to master, which is the balance the best browser games hit. The result is something you can pick up cold months later.
