Runes is a reimagining of an iOS puzzler, now revamped and rereleased

In the world of iOS puzzlers, the variety is endless, but it's the newly released games that often catch our eye with their unique twists and intriguing gameplay. One such game is the rerelease of an oddball classic, Runes: Puzzle, now available on iOS. This game brings back the charm of moving a cuboid block around a map, collecting rune-engraved blocks while navigating through various obstacles and map-specific challenges.

The core gameplay of Runes: Puzzle is straightforward yet engaging. You control a red block, flipping it to move from square to square, aiming to connect it with all the necessary blocks. This simple mechanic is reminiscent of other recently released iOS puzzlers like Link All, but Runes: Puzzle adds its own unique twists to keep players hooked.

Each of the four worlds in Runes: Puzzle introduces distinct mechanics, ensuring a fresh experience as you progress through over 70 levels. Additionally, there are five extra challenges to test your skills, providing ample content to keep you engaged.

Although the original developer was somewhat secretive about this being a rerelease, the revamped version of Runes: Puzzle looks promising. However, the true test will be whether the gameplay can maintain player interest over time. The repetitive nature of flipping blocks might become tedious, but the different mechanics in each world could offer enough variety to keep things exciting.
