Rafter HD

Categories: Games, | 1 comment | |

iPad Owners rejoice!! The extremely addictive, fun and unique iPhone game Rafter is now available on the iPad in Rafter HD! After being featured in New and Noteworthy and WHAT WE’RE PLAYING in App Store by Apple, Emantras launches Rafter HD for iPad.

Rafter has 101 progressive levels of challenges. There are multiple solutions to each level, but its up to you to figure out which one is the best. Put your problem solving skills and logic to the test by drawing blocks (square, rectangle, long, short, thin, thick, ect…) and launching them at mines. This deceptively simple game needs a little bit of physics and a lot of timing to hit your target – a miniscule red mine. You can create wooden blocks and stone balls of any size. The game is part strategy and part trial and error. You have a limited number of attempts in each level. The fewer number of attempts it takes you to complete a level, the more points you earn.

Rafter HD has a unique new system for caculating scores as well. The equation is simple: Each level has a fixed number of moves and the score increases when you solve the game using the least number of moves. And while you’re trying to do all this, make sure to watch out for swinging platforms, fans and other not-so-friendly objects!

Features:

One of its kind physics based game in which the player can sketch objects of required sizes
Choice of selecting the type of sketches between circle and rectangle.
Open feint enabled to share the scores
101 mind blowing levels with interesting level designs.
Witty and highly addictive levels targeting players’ drawing skills.
Dynamic ‘gravity’ control function
Fan speed and Buoyancy control

I loved the iPhone version of Rafter which is why it was given a great 4 out of 5 finger rating by SlapApp. Now with the increased levels, features and screen size of Rafter HD for the iPad the game is taken to the next level and is deserving of the full 5 Finger rating. It makes great use of the iPad multi-touch technology and requires you to tap into your creative side to come up with solutions. As you advance in the game there are a handful of levels that at first glance will make you scratch your head. You’ll be greeted with vast open space, spring-like and falling platforms, rotating windmills, swinging gauntlets, block redirecting fans, and maze-like structures. Levels can go quickly but to master them it can take time. And with 101 levels the gameplay keeps going and offers a great amount of variation and extended playing time.
