I grew up with Repton 1 2 3 and the others upto Repton Infinity. Amazing that I can now take Repton everywhere I go. I've been playing this game for 25 years (im 31) and I'll be playing it for 25 more.

I LOVE this game! When I found it in the app store I almost pee'd myself with excitement. I'm soooo sad. lol.

I am, however, completely stuck!! Any repton geniuses out there who have completed "The Vault".. plz plz help me!! I can get all around the level with ease, but get stuck after I have to collect all the unlocked gems.

Hi there! glad you are enjoying the game... it can be a real head scratcher at times! The best place to look for help with levels is to post on the facebook fan page (facebook/irepton) and the community there should be able to help you!

Looks pretty cool. I'm wondering how the controls will work on the iphone touchscreen. This video doesn't show that. Guess I'll have to try the app when it's out!

iRepton uses the screen as a virtual joystick making control simple via gestures. You can touch anywhere on the screen to move repton around and we have made it simple to perform complex moves like a triple repton shuffle! Either hold you finger down or swipe your finger around the screen (my preferred method!). Time & monster speed have been tweaked specially to take into account the touch interface. We spent large amounts of time play testing every level to make sure this was "just right!" :)

Are you this game is played on a BBC Micro? The graphics here are much to smooth. It looks 16-bit, not 8-bit. This looks more like it could be being played on a BBC Electron or even an Archimedes.

[iRepton]

Thanks for the kind comments regarding the smoothness of the graphics. As per the title of the video, this version of Repton is for the 32-bit iPhone / iPod Touch. It is a remake of the 80's classic Repton. The graphics and sounds have been enhanced to support the iPhone's 32-bit platform. However if you select "retro mode" from the settings menu of the game, it will change the game to be a pixel for pixel match to the original 8-bit BBC Micro graphics and sounds.

hope you enjoy!

I remember the original well, and this looks like a fantastic remake - can't wait for it to be approved on the app store!
