Set to release on July 30th, A Day in the Woods is a puzzle game released by RetroEpic Software. A Day in the Woods is a puzzler based on the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood. The inspiration behind the gameplay is a take on the sliding puzzle, if you remember playing with those as a child.
[UPDATE: 07/29/2015 – 12:16 PM – PST]: The unique and gorgeous puzzle game by RetroEpic Software is now available to download in the Google Play Store. If you want to play this one, it will cost you $4.99 to download. Some may gawk at the price, but it includes 60 puzzles and absolutely no in-app purchases. The link to download the game is at the end of this article.
In this game, players are looking at a sort of hex based gameboard that is themed for the forest, with the goal of sliding various pieces around in order to navigate Red from one end to the other, while avoiding threats such as the Big Bad Wolf, bears, or spiders, while collecting berries and flowers along the way; players will also find that some of the creatures in the forest are helpful, such as rabbits and beehives.
