Like all great puzzlers, Rules! asks you to play by them, so all you Dirty Harrys out there, well, you’re simply not welcome.
In Rules! you’re presented with a four-by-four board with twelve tappable squares. Each one filled with a colorful character and a number. This is where the rules come in – they will instruct you as to what order you should tap the squares in until none remain.
As you progress, different rules are added
Sound simple? Well, it is – kind of. To make this more than just a simple game of whack-a-mole, you have to complete the instruction within 20 seconds. Once you do you’ll head to the next level and a new rule presents itself. Follow this rule until you run out of options then revert to rule one.

Attention is seriously paid to the look and design of Rules! Characters on each card are all beautifully designed, while there are also unicorns, tiny robots, and gremlins to become familiar with. Through playing the game, it’s clear that Rules! wouldn’t be out of place among the growing ranks of cute puzzlers, alongside Threes and Monument Valley.
Characters are placed on the playing board, you have to tap them based on the rules you’ve been given
Rules! is a game all about speed and your ability to spot patterns. It may look slightly childish in places but this is a game that is rock-hard. You’ll soon be cursing your clumsy thumbs but in time you’ll get better and crown yourself the king of Rules! Until you check the leaderboard that is…
