THE DESCRIPTION:
A new take on the sliding puzzle game, Rowtopia is an easy to pick up and play app for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and now iPad. Players align tiles of matching shapes to clear them from the board and move on to further levels.
THE GOOD:
Rowtopia has 40 levels of gameplay so it will keep app users busy for long periods of time. It has great replay value and is hard to put down after only a short time playing. The music is very upbeat and matches the addictive mood the game puts on its players to continue playing. There are 3 levels of difficulty so even the most novice can learn to play and the most advanced will still be challenged. Its simplicity makes it a game that will appeal to large audiences of users of various ages.
THE BAD:
While most sliding puzzle games eliminate strands of 3 or more, Rowtopia does not eliminate until a whole vertical or horizontal line is one consecutive tile strand. Although the game is easy to learn and is good for novice users, players may become bored over time with the repetitive nature of the game.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
Rowtopia is a simple and interesting game that will appeal to all audiences. While its style of play or concept is nothing ground-breaking or revolutionary, it is a fun game that can be played whenever someone needs to kill time and can be resumed at anytime.
