Rope Rescue

Rope Rescue is a wildly entertaining arcade puzzle game. Just like you would in Rope Around (where you trace your trajectory as you go) it's up to you to rescue the highest possible number of villagers you can before they succumb to the flames of a towering inferno.

Gameplay in Rope Rescue is very simple. Drag your finger tip across the screen in order to create your escape route, and watch as each villager emerges from the flames towards safety.

Unsurprisingly, you'll need to make sure your villagers are picked up by an ambulance and taken to a hospital, but shockingly enough, the very same vehicles destined to take them to safety, also put their lives at risk. Yes, you'll need to keep your wits about you in order to dodge oncoming emergency ambulance traffic. Just like in Lemmings, each of the levels requires you try to rescue a specific number of villagers. Depending on the number of villagers you manage to save, you'll receive a higher (or lower) coin reward at the end, along with up to three gold stars. Use your winnings to personalize both the design of each level as well as to add mod skins to your villagers.

Rope Rescue comes with a number of unique challenges that increase in difficulty as you play, and adapt fairly quickly to players seeking a mind-bending puzzle. Hands down, this game should unquestionably be on your smartphone if you're into puzzles.
