Rules! is a 2014 educational puzzle video game co-developed by Marcel-André Casasola Merkle and Agnes Lison and published by TheCodingMonkeys. It was released for iOS in August 2014 and became the first game to be released on the Apple Watch in April 2015.
The player is given a board made up of 16 tiles, which contain objects or animals and a number on the top-left corner. They are given a rule in each level, and for each level they complete, the player must recall past rules.[1] For example, when a player finishes a rule for level four, they must follow the rules from level three, then two, and finally one. Players must solve each level within a limited amount of time.[2] To fit the small size of the Apple Watch, the gameplay was reduced.[3]
Development and release
The graphics, according to designer Agnes Lison, were intended to be vector. Concepts for the icons were developed by Marcel-André Casasola Merkle. However, Lison thought it looked "flat" and opted for a mosaic-like look based on pictures on her wall.
Rules! released for iOS on August 6, 2014, and for the iPad on August 20, 2014.[4] On April 24, 2015, Rules! became the first game to be released on the Apple Watch.[2]
