## What is Repton 3?

ADDICTIVE. CHARMING. CHALLENGING. A RETRO PUZZLE SOLVING CLASSIC! Repton 3 is truly one of the greatest puzzle games of all time! Selling hundreds of thousands of copies since first released back in the 80's for the BBC B Microcomputer. 

In addition to the original Repton 3 levels from the BBC B Microcomputer, Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Acorn Archimedes and the Commodore C64, we have also included all the original levels from the spin off games too, including:

 - Repton Symphony
 - Repton Around the World
 - The Life of Repton
 - Repton Thru time
 - Repton’s Adventures
 - Reptology 
 - Bonus

So Repton 3 is really seven separate games in one! 

When you purchase the game, as well as including all the original Repton 3 scenarios, one scenario (i.e. a set of 8 levels) from each of the original spin off games is included as part of the download giving you a total of 80 levels ready to play. The remaining themed scenarios that make up each game can be purchased from the in-game store via in-app purchasing. The following scenarios are included as part of the game:

Repton 3 / Symphony:  Overture, Prelude, Toccata, Finale, Encore
Repton Around the World: America 
The Life of Repton: Baby
Repton Thru Time: Prehistoric
Repton’s Adventures: Greek
Reptology: Reptology1a

“A true retro masterpiece”

"I wasted hours of my youth with this game and now I can do it all again! THE best game by far back in the day and still brilliant now, I'm sure it's mostly responsible for my fantastic problem solving skills!! Get it, you'll love it."

"Fantastically addictive, once I started I couldn't stop playing, a brilliant app"

___________________________________ 

You control Repton the lizard, and your quest is to collect all of the diamonds from a series of underground caves before the allocated time runs out.

Some of the diamonds are easy to take, but many are located behind fiendish traps involving rocks, eggs, monsters, keys, safes, spirits, cages, skulls, transporters, earth and fungus. In each cave you also need to collect a crown, kill the monsters, and cage the spirits before defusing the time bomb to complete the level.
 
If you're a fan of logic puzzles, or just fancy a break from aimlessly wandering around shooting things then Repton 3 is for you! 

With enhanced graphics and sound, Repton 3 introduces this classic game to a new generation on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.  It is fun for all players, from children to seasoned puzzlers. 

As a universal app and with support for iCloud (game save syncing), you can pick up your game where you left off regardless of which device you are using.

In-app purchasing via the in game store lets you download new and exciting Repton 3 scenario packs adding new levels with themed graphics and the ability to skip a level if you get stuck.

We have also optimized the game for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus to take advantage of the extra screen sizes by offering a larger gameplay area and not just scaling the game!

### 1/5 — Still broken

*2023-03-25, version 2.5.2*

When selecting level just shows IAP link and no levels (even after buying all in mega pack) so cannot proceed any further.

### 3/5 — Great, but improvements would be welcomed

*2020-04-17, version 2.5.1*

This is a great nostalgia-fest as others have said, but both this and Repton 1 need some quality-of-life improvements to cope with modern tastes. Most importantly, the ability to save anywhere is desperately needed- not only to allow the game to be played in bite-sized chunks, but also to mitigate the imprecise gesture controls. These seem worse than Repton 2, even with the sensitivity turned down. Having to restart a long level because the character moved down rather than up is really frustrating.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2019-10-02, version 2.4*

Please could you include a level designer as I would like to make my own levels like i did on the bbc computer version back in 1989-1992.

### 4/5 — Repton 3

*2019-03-25, version 2.4*

I loved Repton as did everyone years ago. The only one I want to play is the original Repton 3. I have paid for the game, but it is not there? Am I looking in the wrong place?

Thanks

### 5/5 — Repton on the go

*2018-02-19, version 2.4*

Great to be able to play Repton 3 with all the levels I remember on the go. 
The only improvement would be to make the keypad more visible if you use it. The biggest mistakes I make when playing are due to not being able to see the keypad properly. A light grey colour would make it easier.

### 5/5 — Takes me back to the 80s!

*2018-02-10, version 2.4*

Please add IOS keyboard support (so we can use the iPad Smart Keyboard etc to truly retro the game!

Cheers!

### 5/5 — Great Game But....

*2017-08-01, version 2.4*

In Reptology2a the Merry-Go-Round level is impossible to complete. There's a Sprite going around the centre and you cannot join it up to the edge. Please sort this out. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2016-03-30, version 2.3*

A brilliant game. A must have download for everyone!

### 5/5 — It's like being 6 all over again

*2015-04-17, version 1.3.1*

This game on the BBC was probably singlehandedly responsible for my problem solving development as a child in the 80s!  It's awesome to see it brought out to a new generation. The only thing I ever wanted was an "undo" key, for those stupid mistakes that put you under a rock with no path of escape.

Keep up the great work! Would be great if players could submit their own levels to play, unless I've missed that feature!

### 4/5 — Great -BUT

*2014-11-09, version 1.2*

I bought this for £25. The games are as wonderful as I remember, but there are no passwords. This means if you fail at part 3or 4, you can't start again with a password, but have to pay 69p. Then, I am in a totally new game. Not at all happy. Please sort it before I complain to Apple.
