River Cross is a new logic puzzle game that is every bit as challenging as Blocked, Enigmo, and TextTwist.

Featuring original hand drawn art, animation, and sounds, River Cross consists of 4 different puzzles that all share a central theme: you must get all of the characters across the river. Sounds easy, right?

You might think the first puzzle is a piece of cake, but its merely a warmup. Each puzzle is substantially more difficult than the one before it and will require you to think a bit differently.
Just wait until you get to the last level! It will have you scratching your head long into the night.

In fact, I doubt many people can complete the final puzzle. Its that hard! If you are smart enough to "Cross The River", consider yourself an intellectual elite and try not to spoil the puzzle for the less intelligent.

For additional excitement, try to beat the final puzzle as fast as you can. Youll be able to share your best times on our global leaderboard. You can see how you rank against other puzzle solvers worldwide.

If youre tired of mindless apps like Yo Mama and Wobble, do your brain a favor and take the River Cross challenge.

Pros and cons of River Cross Logic Puzzle Game app for iPhone and iPad

River Cross Logic Puzzle Game app good for

I can only think of a few things that are fun with a dollar: 1. Folding it up to make Washington look like a mushroom. 2. Using it to help an erotic dancer pay her bills. 3. Play River Cross! I really enjoyed this game even though my wife solved the puzzles faster than me. Where is my DLC?
Make more levels I wouldnt of bought this If I knew their where only 3 levels
River Cross will bring back memories for many who grew up with problem solving, logic games. The feel of the game is very much old school with the paper-cutout type figures that you move back and forth. I believe the images were all hand-drawn which is a nice touch since most games these days tend to be special effects heavy. The interface is straightforward and as you begin each level, you receive your instructions on your objective. There is also a counter in the corner monitoring the number of moves and a timer. Realistically, this is for your personal score keeping as youll want to test how fast your logic is. One of the additional features is if you choose an incorrect move, youll see an image that shows the consequence (e.g. a fox eating a chicken). While there are only 3 levels right now, and I hope eventually there are more, River Cross is a good educational game for younger kids, and a touch of nostalgia for us old kids.
Currently, there are only 3 levels, but Ive had the game for a number of days and havent finished it yet. The game is only .99 and its fun. If you like these type of puzzle games its a no brainer- get it!
really good puzzle game but really need more level if not it would be perfect 4.5/5 stars
This is a very short game. I breezed right through the first and second levels. The third level is very difficult though, and should be a brain teaser that really makes you think hard. There is quite little replayability, but it is not completely void of any as there are a par number of moves in the three levels and leaderboards for speed. If you expect an extremely lengthy game for ninety nine cents, this game isnt for you. But if you are willing to spend a buck on a polished game that provides a few good brain teasers, give it a try.

Some bad moments

River Cross is a great classic logic game and I was delighted to find an app for it. However, after my 11yo was disturbed by and showed me the level 3 graphics, I was really disappointed in the developers. If you choose the wrong raft configuration, kids assault the parents, adults assault each other, dad is kicked in the crotch, mom is not allowed to be alone with her sons without the dad present, dad not allowed to be alone with his daughters without moms presence. Whats that about? As a kid with older siblings, my 11yo sees media violence AND is smart enough to know that, while some are not, families are meant to be safe places where any form of assault is inappropriate and where adults of either gender can be trusted. Great and welcome game idea whose worth and potential is sadly negated by senseless, assault-laden violence.
Fun while it lasted. Barely worth the 99 cents we paid for it.
Had it figured out, but it said one side had more foxea than chickens,which it didnt! ERG!
I really like this puzzle! Even when you finish each level, its hard to remember exactly how you did it, which gives the game a lot more mileage than youd think. Its fun to try and beat the fastest score and the fewest moves. I think I would get really frustrated with the game if I had to restart every time I made a mistake; Im glad the game isnt designed that way.
Did all four levels in 10 minutes. It took me longer to go back and forth thinking that I was missing something, that there had to be more levels, no way they would charge for just 4 levels... I was wrong. If I could give this game a MINUS 5 stars, I would. Great concept though...
Not enough levels and way to easy. The last level took me about 20 minutes, which would have been great if there were 20 levels after it. No replay value, good thing its cheap.
