Joining the denizens of iPhone games that are brutally challenging beneath a cutesy exterior is Turtle Tale Runaway; a game that’ll test your precision and foresight skills to the limit. While it follows in the endearing art style of Angry Birds or Siege Hero, it’s actually a more intricate game better suited to those looking for a challenge.
As the slightly convoluted title suggests, the heroes of this game are turtles – or a single turtle. Your job is to direct the annoyingly loveable little creature to the exit at the bottom of the level. This is achieved by drawing lines which turn into pathways along which the turtle rolls when you hit ‘Play.’ However, you can only draw a limited amount, so you’re forced to be frugal.
Unlike many games, Runaway is tough from the start, but this is no bad thing. The gameplay is so simple that there really isn’t that much to grasp, so why not get you racking your brain straight away? Things quickly heat up after the initial few levels, as you’ll have to guide your turtle across cogs and other strange mechanisms in your bid to help him.
Runaway has a pleasing aesthetic and a ton of levels for you to plough through. The quicker you complete a given level, the higher your star rating, so there’s always something to play for. The only major downside of the game is the turtle’s irritating squeal of ‘Yay’ every time you complete a level. Thankfully, the game’s toughness means that you won’t be completing the levels too quickly. Or, come to think of it, just put your iPhone music on. Problem solved.
