Briefly: It’s been a long time, Rayman.
No, not since I’ve played a Rayman game, as there are plenty of recent titles in the series that are worth checking out.
Ubisoft is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the character, however, which just made me realize that Rayman debuted when I was just five years old.
Moments ago, Ubisoft debuted Rayman Classic on the iOS App Store (no word of an Android version just yet), noting that you can now embark on epic adventures with Rayman in one of the most influent platform game of all times and relive the experience of playing the original version of the 1995 hit’.
The title costs a cool $4.99 on the Canadian App Store, is a universal purchase including both iPad and iPhone versions of the game, and even (thankfully) includes full gamepad support. I only hope that it’s updated in the future to include an Apple TV binary as well!
Forget what a platformer this old is all about? In Rayman Classic, you’ll:
-EMBODY Rayman, your favorite hero born in 1995
-REDISCOVER the fantasy cartoon worlds of the original game: The Dream Forest, The Band Lands, The Blue Mountains, The Candy Castle…
-RUN, dodge, jump, punch your way through the various levels of this classic platform game.
-UNLEASH Rayman’s special powers from the telescopic fist to the helicopter and defeat hostile creatures.
-SEEK OUT & FREE the Electoons to complete each level and restore the cosmic balance.
-HELP iconic and funny side characters in each world: The fairy Betilla, Tarayzan, Joe the extraterrestrial.
-DEFEAT each and every boss (Moskito, Mister Sax, Mr Dark…) in epic showdowns to free your friends.
-BEAT the Hardcore mode with one single life or choose the Casual mode for infinite tries.
