  • Four notebooks, twenty pages, seven towers with two specialisations each
  • Fifteen letter monsters and four bosses
  • Daily page, endless mode, pop quiz and two-player co-op
  • Game Center and iCloud save

Why this game

Rature comes from the margins of school notebooks, where everyone has doodled during class at some point. Here, you draw everything: a small symbol makes a tower, a slow stroke a wall, a quick stroke a cross-out. There isn’t a single image in the game: everything is drawn in ink.
