The Curse of Ra

About

The Curse of Ra is a puzzle game built around matching tiles in a single-layer grid viewed from two angles. Players clear pairs while navigating obstacles like bombs that remove tiles and magnets that pull them together. The game offers 50 levels of increasing complexity plus optional multiplayer modes for competitive or cooperative play. Each level requires careful planning to avoid dead ends caused by walls or misfired power-ups. The game’s longevity comes from its challenge and replayability. With Ra's Revenge adding 50 more levels, the total puzzle count hits 100. Originally released in 1998 but still playable on modern iOS devices, it blends simple controls with strategic depth. The shareware version let players test the first 16 levels before committing, a design choice that helped it gain a steady following. Its mix of luck and logic keeps players coming back for another try at perfection.
