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.
