Rotex is a 2-player abstract strategy game with a simple objective — be the first player to connect 5 tiles in a row, in any direction. But, there's a twist… literally! On each turn, players will also rotate a region of the board clockwise. Use your rotations wisely to foil your opponent's plan and set yourself up for victory! Features: • Online Multiplayer - Invite a friend, or let Game Center find you a match. Take turns at your leisure! • Single Player vs Computer - Practice against an AI opponent, with three difficulty levels to choose from! • Pass and Play - Grab a friend and play against each other on the same device! How to Play: The goal is to connect five tiles in a row in any direction. On each turn, players must do two things: 1.) Select a grey tile on the board to turn it to their color. 2.) Select one of the seven gears on the board to rotate the tiles around it one notch in the clockwise direction. The game ends when one player connects five in a row of their color, or when there are no more grey tiles left to claim. If neither player gets five in a row, or both players get five in a row at the same time, the game is a draw.

About

Radames

Read full description

This is a kind of solitary game, opposing a human player and a virtual opponent, the smarphone. The game board has 16 cells, 4 lines and 4 columns. Each player owns 4 pawns: red for the human and black for the opponent. At game beginning, the pawns are aligned on their base rows. Aim of the game is tho place three pawns of your color aligned in diagonal, or four pawns aligned in vertical. The human player moves first: select a red pawn touching it: its colour changes to blue. Then touch the destination cell, which must be empty, and just une step away from the starting position, in any direction. Or a red pawn may jump over a black one, provided that the destination cell is empty. If the move is valid, the selected pawn will be moved to the new selected position. After each move of a red pawn, the move is up to black, and you have to wait for it. Once done, the move is up to you again, and so on.
