Rusty Lake: Roots for Android
This game is so unique! Very leisurely game, yet adventurous and eerie all at the same time. Creepy rooms and figuring out the right pieces of the puzzle. I like this game because it's not just a 'tap & find the object' game. You actually have to think and ponder about the story line. I would only say, towards the end it does get complicated. The walkthrough was very helpful and easy to find instead of having to search it up on the internet. Great graphics, awesome intriguing game. Eerie, creepy, quiji boars, terror. Love it all. Would probably change it to mature though, that's my only compliant :) great game, guys.
Starting with a single recommendation on Reddit (for Rusty Lake Hotel), I've just completed the tenth (or eleventh?) game in this ridiculously brilliant series. Hotel and Roots are both decent length games and well worth the money. The other, shorter ones (the Escape Cube series) vary in length but are all free and all tie in with this single, overarching story. It's truly fantastic, and appealed very well to my taste for the weird, creepy and fun. Reminded me a lot of Twin Peaks in tone. Get this.
An incredibly sick game and I 100% love it. You can finish it quickly with all the walkthrough available or you can solve all the puzzles yourself and will be more rewarding. So play it slow, look around and you'll get it. Oh.. the last elixir puzzle got me stuck like forever.. good luck with that ..
This was an absolutely amazing, brilliant, beautiful, intriguing, addicting game. I've never found such fascination with a story like this one. I'll admit; I did have to use the walkthrough almost everytime during the end of the game... But! Its simply amazing. You fall in love with the characters even though their lives are rather dreary. Please make more!!!!!$2 was so worth it.
Another great game in the Rusty Lake series. I like how big this one is and how whenever you think you are done, you're not. A little less challenging than some if the other titles in the series, the puzzles are just hard enough to make the game interesting. The only two times I needed help were on the last level of the main game and the very last bonus level. Looking forward to revisiting Rusty Lake again in the future.
Superb puzzle solving mystery series with elements of horror and esoterica that span several games with hidden clues throughout the series. Think: Edgar Allan Poe meets 'Alice in Wonderland' meets 'Twin Peaks' and you get 'Rusty Lake'. It's a fun, twisted, and macabre adventure down the rabbit hole. And you'll never want to come back out.
This is a great game and a nice addition to the other Rusty Lake story lines. Edited: I tried to replay a completed level, and was told you can go to Settings and click the Reset button. The game will let you reset just the level or the entire game. Unfortunately, this doesn't work on totally completed levels, just on partial ones. Please fix!
Rusty Lake are the masters! I've been addicted to the entire series and Roots is no exception. Awesome gameplay with ample challenging moments. Best of all, the whole event is cloaked in a sinister, almost morbid atmosphere that only adds to the tension and excitement. Always worth the wait and $4 very well spent. Highly recommended!
Dark, twisted, macabre fun. The entire series is an absolute blast to play and Roots is no exception. It's not long (you can beat it in an afternoon), but you've definitely paid more to go see a film. Why not get a great story with wonderful music and tricky logic puzzles for a few bucks? If you're not sure you'll like it, play any of Rusty Lake's free online games, and realize that this is any of those games x5. Seriously. Buy it, play it, and enjoy.
WOW, one of the best offline paid games ever. Just saying right now, app unwrapped,( NOT SPONSORING) is the best for written guide for the game. Some puzzles were hard to figure out on your own. Only "bug" unlike other rusty lakes, and I've downloaded/ played them all, is you click an object too fast or repeatedly, it "floats"upward. Kinda "bugged" me ( ha ha ), but overall, great game, hope HOTEL is as good too, cause I bought that too. AWESOME and OFFLINE, TY!
Another incredible addition to this breath taking series! This new approach to the rusty lake style is both ambitious and successful. It's a somewhat mechanically different game that builds on the formula while keeping true to the old feel. I can't wait to see where the rusty lake team will take us next!
A perfect puzzler, with a story built around the progression of time and an evolving family. Dark and suspenseful, filled with the by now well known cast of characters in some wonderful cameos. The latest offering in the Rusty Lake saga is a deepening of the mythos and remains as surreal and darkly satisfying as the previous entries. The developers have once again produced a different though clearly recognisable sequel whilst avoiding any stagnation of the series. Whilst the horizontal-scrolling setting was a departure from the rotating cube rooms of the previous games, this is a worthy entry into my favourite game series of all time.
The Rusty Lake games are consistently incredible (and occasionally creepy/disturbing)... but Roots is their weakest offering. It has the most sophisticated graphics, but the least independent thinking/solving. Each chapter has one clear task - you never have to figure anything out.
Starts off simple....gets you into it. Experienced Rusty's will definitely get a "child's play" feel. But that doesn't carry through the whole game. The story is well developed and clearly helps set up the future expansions. Oh and just when you think *spoiler blocked*.... -kinda long- ... They don't leave you hanging.
Creepy as all get out. Fun, intriguing, and easy to play. Tough puzzles that force you think outside the box while simultaneously not being too difficult to figure out. There's also a link in-game to a walk through for each puzzle, should you get stuck. Great game!!!
Was great to play the first time round. Reset it so I could play again but when I get to "the search" level, there's a bug where the parrot never appears. So I'm stuck holding on to the tube with the note. Please have a look into this?
Anyone who wanted a longer Cube game story should purchase this now! The story in the game is dark, odd but very intriguing. The puzzles are challenging and kinda unique. Anything that moves when you interact with it has a purpose. So don't go crazy about being stuck. Continue making games like this! I'm excites for your next release!
This is one of the best game series ever. This one in particular was amazing. I played it last and it blew me away. Very creepy. Very fun. Love the puzzles. Love the connections to each game.. All I can say is.. I don't want it to be over. Please, MAKE MORE! If not in this storyline then create another. Lol I'm hooked. I'd buy every game. It's worth it.
Worth every single penny. I have never been disappointed with a Rusty Lake release but this is a new high. Itching for the next macabre, compelling addition to the series. Keep up the good work team!
For me Rusty lake games are truly on top in their genre. They redefine the very notion of the point and click puzzles, the levels are gorgeously designed and look more like riddles that are much more interesting and challenging. I'm looking forward to next masterpiece from you guys.
Rusty Lakes makes the best escape games I have ever played and this is the best so far. These games are creepy, the humor is witty, and the story line progresses throughout all the games and really draws you in. The mini-games within the game progress in difficulty. Even if a level is a total stumper to you there is alway a certain logic to the solution. Once you play through this series, you too will start thinking in "Cube Escape's" quirky logic, which absolutely I love! The graphics are simple but extremely creative. They begin to lend a sense of familiarity to each scene without being repetitive, while also allowing the developers to focus on game play and advancement of the story line. I can't recommend this series enough. I would also like to add, to their credit, that they never ask for ANY permissions on your device and there are no in app purchases. If you are looking for something creative and challenging, Rusty Lakes has raised the bar for the escape game genera to a whole "nutha" level!!!
Really love these Rusty Lake games! I found this paid version a bit more manageable than the free ones (though they're all excellent). The individual levels were shorter and the puzzles were more clear, so it was easier to jump back into the game. Can't wait for more!
This was my first Rusty Lake game and it was amazing! I had to use the walkthroughs multiple times because some clues I didn't understand... But it's a fun game with a very interesting story. I 110% recommend!
Wow just wow lol good game. Fun to play when just needing some good puzzles. Music wasn't to bad, so parts a bit annoying on the music, but turning it down a bit did the trick. I really enjoyed the game, enough to download another!
Anyone else having an issue with the chess board on level 29? I can't seem to get the chess piece to move around the board? I even checked the walkthrough and it shows the black chess piece moving around the board but mine won't budge!? HELP....I love these games and really want to finish this one :)
I've completed all of the rusty lake games, while this one isn't as disturbing as Hotel it was still great as ever. Heaps of levels and secret ones so the game took a while to get through. Definitely would not like to meet uncle Albert on a dark night.
A bit disappointing. I played all the free ones first and then this and hotel. Although I found hotel better than this they both fell short of most of the free ones. They are nowhere near as edgy or as captivating as the free ones. Glad I played the free ones first because if I had played this first I would probably have given them a miss.
Can I give it ten stars? The elixir lab at the end was fascinating. Would love to see more of that and navigation related puzzles. (Have you guys heard of Starship Titanic, the Terry Jones game from the 90s? This series is so reminiscent of it.) Mr. Crow's voice continues to give me nightmares.
WORTH IT! REALLY great (as aways) I have been in love with the whole series so far and this one might just be my new favorite. It has twists, beautiful graphics and it's not too challenging. So addicting, I'm probably gonna restart it just to play all over agian. Ill be back for the next one, keep up the good work!
I love the Rusty Lake series with all my heart. The puzzles are always interesting and the art is the perfect fusion of quirky and creepy. The only downside is that every time I complete a game, I'm left wanting more! I've found very few games on Google Play as compelling and unique as Rusty Lake. I hope the series will continue!
I have never paid for a phone game before but after playing the free installments of the Rusty Lake series I was so impressed that I didn't think twice about this purchase. With 33 levels and bonus levels upon completion, the game is well worth the money and I'm more than happy to support Rusty Lake in hopes they continue to produce such great work. The game as the same mysterious and eery atmosphere that makes Rusty Lake so memorable and the puzzles were challenging and all around good fun.
The puzzles were superb and you will find yourself surprise by how things related to one another. However, it was also super scary when we need to collect "the body part" or kill the character.
I love your games, really. But I am 30 out of 33 right now and when I try to open The Last Dance it just goes to a black screen. Nothing happens, just sits there. I'm so close I would love to finish the game, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!
Wow, that totally worth every penny. Amazing. I love all your short ones but this one just have such an amazing plot. I'm looking forward more rusty lake game. I finished all you guys have
I love the cube escape series, and thought rusty lake hotel was a treat. While I enjoyed the story and creepyness of roots, the puzzles for the first half or so were too simple, and the latter half had some that were too complex. The game just didnt feel as well balanced as most of the rest of the series. You should still play it though.
Amazing game. Definitely worth paying for. The whole series is really wacky and different and has kept me sane through an awful week of toothache and insomnia. Thank you. Please release more.
I absolutely LOVE the Rusty Lake series and I have played and finished every single game they've put out. Im always super excited for the next game and im always looking forward to it! Some of the levels were a bit difficult and the controls a bit jankey but other than that I absolutely loved it!
I love this game, but i am completely stuck on The Clock, Masks & The Bathroom. No idea! The only thing i hate about this game, well, all your Rusty Lake games, is that you give next to no instructions & zero hints. At least in this game, i get the bubble thoughts for instruction. Thats it. But im stuck in a place where its not going forward.
Guys, this is amazing! I'm a big fan of all your games and Roots was even better than your other escape episodes :) it's the first time I'm spending money on an Android game aaaand I don't regret xD. love the way you lead your story, atmosphere and graphics - they're so thrilling. It would be great to try some other ways of interacting with objects and the story itself - may be combining objects or more complicated puzzles? Wish you good luck and looking forward to new chapters! Or new stories :)

Love this Rusty Lake escape game as usual. It's not your typical escape the room. The story was well written and it has the dark humor like all the other Rusty Lake game. I love this especially because it consist multiple mini games instead of one huge one. There are 33 smaller chapters and bonus at the end. Best one so far! The difficulty levels range from 2 to 4.5 depends on the chapter. There's also walkthrough on their website and Google so no worries. Can't wait for their new one.
