A lost cowboy, a bottomless mine and one pin standing between him and a pool of lava. Pull the pins in the right order, save him, grab the gold and keep the story going. Pull Him Up is a pin puzzle adventure told chapter by chapter. Every level is a short brain teaser with one clever answer: think ahead, pull the right pin and watch the trap play out. KEY FEATURES • 450+ levels that start easy and get trickier as you go • A cowboy story that travels from the Wild West to a deserted island, an aquarium, a zoo, a gladiator arena and back in time • Lava, water, bombs, fire and spider webs that react to every pin you pull • Zombies, ghosts, wolves, gorillas, aliens and even dragons to outsmart • Gold coins, diamonds and treasure chests on every rescue • Save the girl too when she gets caught in a trap • Play offline, no Wi-Fi needed • Hints when you are stuck, and no penalty for trying again • 16+ fun outfits for your hero and daily gifts for 7 days A STORY THAT KEEPS MOVING It all starts when the cowboy falls into an abandoned mine full of miner zombies. From there the trip goes far, and each chapter brings new places, new enemies and new kinds of traps. THINK BEFORE YOU PULL Pull a pin too early and the lava flows the wrong way. Release the water at the right moment, let a bomb clear a wall, or drop the monsters into a trap before you open the way. Every level asks one question: which pin goes first? RESCUE AND TREASURE Saving the hero is only half the job. Guide the gold and diamonds to him, open treasure chests and spend your coins on new outfits. Short levels make it a perfect puzzle for a quick break, and the story always pulls you into one more level. Made for kids and adults who love logic puzzles, rescue stories and cartoon fun. Plays great on iPhone and iPad. Download Pull Him Up and pull the pin to save the cowboy!
