Sadly doesn’t work anymore

As the title suggests the game doesn’t appear to be supported or maintained. There are no levels other than the demo level. The IAP feature is entirely broken meaning you can’t unlock any levels.

Other classics!

Hi Superior!

Would you please consider releasing many of your old back catalogue? If it’s a lot of work in each I understand.. but Citadel, Karate Kombat, Spycat, The Last Ninja (especially!) and many others!
I loved The Life of Repton, would be amazing to see some of those brought into the future!

Repton 2 Memories Scenario

Repton 2 Memories scenario is impossible to complete without losing a life. The very bottom bit of level 14 is impossible to complete without being trapped in. But apart from that, it’s an extremely great game. Brings back so many MEMORIES of my childhood.

Response from developer

Thank you very much, Mattie6279.

Brilliant and Challenging.

Repton 2! Sadly for me, it has become annoyingly difficult to control the pace of Repton! He has become erratic in using gesture movement control. Sometimes frequently he over shoots a square too many ending up running into skulls, pushing rocks and taking diamonds unintentionally. I've tried adjusted sensitivity with no effect. I have no other apps running in the background so I am at a loss. I've not fallen out of love with Repton... yet! But! Can someone please help!

Repton 2

Cavern level 18 finish (via level 4).
After collecting the last diamond and earth pieces, the skull does not disappear !!! Very frustrating.
I love Repton, please fix ASAP

Excellent game

I love this game v much.
Played it on the bbc computer in the 90s. It was very hard and any mistake could render the game impossible to complete.
This iOS game has it all.
Nice save/load game feature.
Thank you so much for this.

Challenging!

I’ve now bumped this up to 5 star! The ‘custom Repton’ features are great, particularly turning off the requirement for collecting earth, and the invincible Repton is great for young players who are less capable with the controls. Still can’t get on with the modern graphics - but that’s why the classic option is there.

Original review:
This is a fun game, and one of my first gaming experiences as a child. It can be challenging and frustrating, but also rewarding.

Its intuitive enough that my 3 year old son is able to both play and enjoy it! My daughter wants to know why there isn't a girl Repton though ;-)

Response from developer

Repton 2 is one of the most popular Repton games, and picking up earth is a carefully considered game feature introduced by the game's creator Tim Tyler. While keeping faithful to the much-loved original Repton 2 gameplay, the software has already been very significantly adapted for casual use in several important respects: 1) the game progress can be saved/loaded at any location (this is much more useful than a simple 'undo' because the players can effectively choose to undo a few key moves or a whole level, etc.), 2) zoomable maps are immediately viewable for all levels, 3) all map areas including unvisited sections are instantly viewable, 4) visiting the starport shows the status of each level (plus maps when a scenario is nearing completion), 5) handy infopoints are included in key areas, 6) there are several Immortal Repton options available for selection under 'Settings', 7) we have now also added Custom Repton options - again selectable from 'Settings'. So please check out the new Immortal Repton and Custom Repton facilities. Please email us regarding any requests that you have for a "new Repton game"; we will be pleased to consider your ideas, but a public review of Repton 2 is not the right place for off-topic discussions about new Repton games. Superior has sold about 40,000 copies of Repton 2 (across different formats) and nobody has ever asked before for the earth-collection feature to be removed. While we don't want to change the well-loved current Repton 2 gameplaying experience, we have now included this option (plus the choice of killing all the monsters or not) to make the game easier for you. The development team has put in a very considerable amount of dedication, time and careful hard work into creating this software. We have taken time to adapt Repton 2 in line with your wishes, so we would be grateful if you would now upgrade your rating accordingly, which seems unfairly low in view of all of the modifications that have been made.

The old classic: remastered

I first played this on the acorn electron as a child and loved it. 30 years later and it seems even better. It is not often I purchase a game and even rarer that I pay this amount but it is an absolute bargain for the full package of levels. Hours and hours of gameplay in the search for perfection. Thank you for re releasing this and proving the old classics are still the best.

Superb - as always

I was an early purchaser when Repton came to iOS but was late to Repton 2. This was my first Repton game as a child so the nostalgia value is high. However, the original brilliance of the game, the superb programming to have it function so well on this platform and the genius modern level design mean this is an involved and testing game for a new or old player. My policy is always to purchase the full level packs. This saves money in the long run and in my view represents incredible value for money. No other app has ever taken up as much of my time. Repton 2 is especially testing, given the linking of levels, but like all the Reptons, immensely satisfying when progress is made. Kudos to the designers, thank you, and please don’t stop.
