Critical reception

The game has a Metacritic rating of 88% based on 8 critic reviews.

Gamezebo wrote " Rules! is that sort of lightning in a bottle that only comes along every so often. I’d rank it right up there with Threes!, and not just because both games so gleefully abuse exclamation points. "IGN Italia said "Rules! is one of that game that you can’t simply quit: it’s amazing to look and to play, engaging and challenging, even brutal if your brain isn’t trained enough. Follow the Rules has never looked so good. " TouchArcade wrote "It's certainly worth checking out, but be warned: it might make you feel your age, even if you're not all that old. " ArcadeSushi said "Rules! provides the unique experience of further developing hand-eye coordination and memory skills in each person who plays it, while giving the added bonus of plain-old having fun. " Apple'N'Apps wrote "Rules! is an excellently crafted new puzzle idea that will no doubt get you to absolutely love following the rules. " PocketGamerUK said "A delightfully constructed memory test that grows in complexity and appeal the deeper in you go." 148Apps compared the game to Simon Says, writing "Follow the rules to the letter in order to win in this simple yet tough memory game. "

    Rules (game)

    Rules is an athletic game played between two players, on a 64 foot square grid. It is characterized by its use of sticks similar to that of a stringed instrument bow, with the aim of getting one's tip through the other stick's space between the slack (the hair) and the rod (the wood).

    Gameplay

    The field consists of 16 squares, called cells, with sides of 2 feet arranged in a square. The players start in diagonally opposite squares in the middle. Every 20 seconds, the players must switch into an adjacent cell. A tally runs for 20 minutes in this fashion: 3 tallies making a game. One's goal is to strike their stick through the other's stick, whilst simultaneously preventing their own from being struck. However, the two participants must always be facing each other, and cannot move their stick behind their body.

    Rules (album)

    Rules is the second and final album by indie pop band The Whitest Boy Alive. It was recorded in Punta Burros Nayarit, Mexico, where the band was staying to rest after a long tour. In early 2009, Australian radio station Triple J named Rules their feature album of the week. The track "1517" was featured in the video game FIFA 10.

    Laundry Service

    Laundry Service (Spanish: Servicio de Lavandería) is the fifth studio album by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira, globally released on 13 November 2001 by Epic Records. It is her first album to be primarily recorded in English. After the release of her fourth studio album Dónde Están los Ladrones?, which became a success in Latin America, Shakira was encouraged by American singer Gloria Estefan to record songs in English as she believed the singer had the potential to crossover into the English-language pop market. Shakira was initially hesitant to undertake the project, but later decided to learn English well enough to be able to write songs in the language herself. The title of the album was chosen to reflect Shakira's views on love and music. It was also released as Servicio de Lavandería in Hispanic regions in January 2002. Musically, Laundry Service is primarily a pop rock record but it also experiments with a variety of other musical styles, including Andean music, dance-pop, Middle Eastern music, rock and roll and tango. The lyrical theme of the album is mostly based around love and romance. Every song on the album was written and produced by Shakira.

    Rules

    by: Buffalo Tom

    Everyone has their own myths
    If not their father's troubles
    It's the mother's kiss
    But me would you save my life
    Or take it away from me - stab me with a knife
    Hey you could find it in yourself, I know
    To fly across the cobalt sky
    And leave me down below, I know
    To bend my neck and wave goodbye
    You pictured in black and white - clouds stay 'til night
    Don't make the day look right
    You in a beatnick black beret - out on a sunny day
    Make the crows fly away
    Hey you could find it in yourself, I know
    To fly across the cobalt sky
    And leave me down below, I know
    To bend my neck and wave goodbye
    Hey you could find it in yourself, I know
    To fly across the cobalt sky
    And leave me down below, I know
    To bend my neck and wave goodbye
    Wave goodbye
    Wave goodbye
    Wave goodbye
    Wave goodbye
    Wave goodbye
