Here are some of the comments about Repton 2 from the App Store 5-star reviews: "Repton is still the best game ever!" / "a truly classic 'game of the century' that has certainly seen through the test of time. For me there isn't a game out there that comes within a light year of Repton 1 & 2 for gameplay and exercising the brain." / "An Absolutely Outstanding Game" / "This iOS game has it all. Nice save/load game feature. Thank you so much for this. 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." / "Superb - as always" / "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. " / "Absolutely delighted that Repton 2 has been released and the developers have done an outstanding job porting it to the iPhone - it's faithful to the original, runs smoothly, looks great and is really enjoyable to play. Could not have asked for better! I own all 3 of the iOS Repton titles and they are all amazing value: if you buy all of the available scenarios you get hundreds of hours of puzzle solving action from the gentle to the mind-bending" / "When I have finished Repton 2 and the remaining 8-10 levels I have on the other two games, I'm going to start begging them for 'Repton 4'" / "The game is an absolute classic, with cunning puzzles and inter-connected levels" / "Excellent game and support!" / "Highly recommended!" / "It's still one of the greatest games ever" The game has some easy levels as well as more challenging ones, so it’s ideal for everyone from children to seasoned puzzlers! In-app purchasing via the in-game store offers new scenarios to Repton 2 fans: * Mega Bundle: a value pack containing all of the extra scenarios, comprising 240 Repton 2 levels in total! * 10 scenarios ranging from relatively easy to very challenging: Castle, Message (Classic & Modern), Loch, Shrine, Playground, Labyrinth, Caverns, Volcano, Fjord and Jungle. * 2 bonus scenarios: Notebook and Memories. Repton began as a BBC Micro game by a talented 16-year-old called Tim Tyler. This was followed by several sequels, and our award-winning Repton range has achieved collective sales of over 125,000 units across computer systems including the BBC Micro, Acorn Electron, Commodore 64, Sinclair ZX Spectrum and Windows PC!
