Report an issueIn 2007, a clever puzzle game called "Rooms" was declared winner of the IGF (Independent Games Festival) student category, and is now available for iPad!
■ What is "Rooms"? Rooms is a refreshingly innovative "slide puzzle" game in which the player slides rooms into various combinations to help Chris (the hero) find an exit. This puzzle element was fused with various problem-solving gimmicks for an elegant, stimulating combination.
■ Story Chris lost his way on a day of wandering, and found himself trapped in the mysterious world of "Rooms." In order to return to his own world, Chris must unscramble a jumble of rooms in Rooms Mansion, and wit his way through various obstacles scattered throughout to collect Golden Puzzle Pieces--the ultimate key to his escape.
■ How to Play 1. "Rooms" is composed of multiple puzzles, which themselves are composed of multiple rooms. 2. As the player, your role is to slide the rooms right, left, up, and down to guide Chris through them, and eventually to an exit. 3. The rooms have a diverse range of objects or "gimmicks" scattered about such as ladders and keys, which you'll have to help Chris use to his advantage on the way to the exit. 4. Once you have guided Chris to an exit and through the door, the stage is clear, and a new one awaits your challenge.
■ Details & Bonus Elements - 80 stages in total - "Time Limit Mode" and "Challenge Mode" are also available after clearing the game. - Trophies are awarded for clearing various bonus challenges.
■ Game Center Support The "Rooms" application also supports Game Center.

8 of 25This is a nicely original puzzle game with a beautiful "Matrix" aesthetic. The puzzle difficulty is tuned just right - hard enough to be interesting, without being too frustrating. There are many hours of gaming here, with a challenge and time mode after the story mode. By the way, there is a bad ending and a happy ending to the story mode, you need to finish all levels (not just the compulsory ones) to get the happy one. If your controls are off screen, pull the "tassles" to bring them on screen, it's not a bug. I experienced no crashes or other technical difficulties on the iPad with 4.3.x. Five stars for a well-designed, long and original gaming experience.
Worked great until I updated my iPad 2 to the latest version of IOS (4.3.2). Now the game routinely freezes and sometimes quits.
I have this game on my iMac but am very glad to get a mobile version. This is one of the few games that just astounds me. Such attention to detail, flawless performance and a real challenge. There's really nothing else like it.
I have an ipod Touch running OS4 - I just get a black screen. I've re-downloaded it twice, and reset the ipod. Big disappointment.
...but the music is nice.
Nothing but a blank screen, then crash. I have reported the problem and no reply at all. Don't waste your money like I did. I won't be buying another game from Hudson Entertainment.
Good game
When I started the game a black screen appears and the only sounds coming out I'm still wanting to play games and failed to start. If you have older iPod Touch 8g does not appear on the screen can just now. Anyway, hope a quick correction.
