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!

GATEROLLER is a fast, neon-soaked arcade survival game built for players who miss the days when games were simple to learn, difficult to master and impossible to put down. Strap on your rollers, enter the grid and survive. Play as Chaz, Daisy, Leroy or The Ball, each with their own arcade personality, then race through glowing arenas packed with pixel bugs, moving gates, lasers, teleporters, bumpers, boosters and traps. Every level changes the rules, forcing you to react faster, choose smarter routes and keep your score alive long enough to escape. THE GATE IS OPEN. CAN YOU REACH IT? Your goal sounds simple: survive the arena, build enough score to unlock the gate and get out. But once the gate opens, the pressure rises. Your score can begin to drain, your trail shifts behind you and the safest route can disappear in seconds. Hesitate and the arena wins. Move too aggressively and you may trap yourself. GATEROLLER rewards quick reactions, risk-taking and learning the perfect route. 120 LEVELS OF ESCALATING ARCADE CHAOS Start with a guided training level, then face increasingly unpredictable arenas. Early stages introduce the core movement, chasing bugs and projectiles. Later levels bring moving gates, teleport portals, pinball-style bumpers, sweeping lasers, aggressive enemies, wraparound walls and huge scrolling arenas with off-screen threats. Just when you think you understand the grid, GATEROLLER changes it. CHOOSE YOUR ROLLER Take control of Chaz, Daisy or Leroy and hit the arena in classic neon arcade style. Each character brings their own personality to the world of GATEROLLER, surrounded by glowing grids, explosive effects, retro-inspired sound and pixel enemies that refuse to leave you alone. BOOST YOUR CHANCES Grab powerful boosters when the arena turns against you. Change speed. Gain an extra life. Take control of your direction. Trigger Smash Mode and turn the tables on the bugs. Knowing when to grab a booster can be the difference between escaping and becoming part of the grid. BUILT FOR QUICK RUNS — AND “ONE MORE TRY” Swipe to launch. Tap or swipe to turn. Avoid the walls, enemies, projectiles and your own trail. The controls are immediate, but mastering the arena takes timing, planning and nerve. Chase a higher score, replay levels, improve your route and enter your initials when you set a new personal best. RETRO ARCADE ENERGY GATEROLLER combines modern mobile controls with the feel of classic 80s arcade games: • Neon grid arenas • Pixel-art enemies and effects • Original arcade-inspired soundtrack • Explosions and haptic feedback • Classic initials entry • Personal high scores • Saved progress and level selection • Music, sound-effect and haptic controls • Game Center support PLAY FREE, THEN UNLOCK THE FULL GAME Levels 0–14 are free to play with ads. Free players may see occasional ads, including optional rewarded ads that can help you keep a run alive. If GATEROLLER gets its hooks into you, unlock Level 15 and beyond with one permanent in-app purchase. The Full Game purchase removes GATEROLLER ads. No subscription. No recurring payment. Just the game. WHY YOU’LL KEEP COMING BACK Every level is designed around a new pressure, hazard or combination of mechanics. Some demand precision. Some reward aggression. Some make you survive long enough to find the opening. Others turn the entire arena into a moving puzzle. The result is a game that is easy to pick up for a few minutes but gives you plenty to master. Can you survive all 120 levels? Can you beat your best score? Can you make it through the gate before the arena closes in? There is only one rule: DON’T STOP. Download GATEROLLER, enter the grid and hit the gate.
