Rinth Island was a third person RPG puzzle game that combined both 2D and 3D perspectives. The game was played through either the male character (Gimble) or the female character (Libby) as they help rebuild the town on Rinth Island after a powerful storm.[2] The game was met with positive reviews upon release.
Gameplay
The player controls either as the male character Gimble, or the female character Libby. The character is controlled by a virtual direction pad that can go either left or right, or by touching the screen towards where the character would move, but not jump so the characters depend on ladders and flying bees to elevate. Sometimes the player would push coconuts and crates, pull levers and fire cannons and explosives in order to clear off obstacles such as opening/closing platforms, baskets, and rocks.[3] There are four modes in the game.
Removal
The game was taken down on iOS stores by 2015, however for those who installed the game before removal, it remains either playable or downloadable through purchased retrieval.
