| Repton (Video Game) | comment |
Repton is a classic Digging Game written by Tim Tyler in 1985 for the BBC Micro. The eponymous protagonist finds himself, for no discernible reason, in a maze filled with diamonds, all of which must be collected to complete each level. Obstacles to doing this include falling rocks, reptilian monsters and the ever-present time limit.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The first game was followed by two numbered sequels, three Mission Pack Sequels for Repton 3, and a final game titled Repton Infinity because it included an editor allowing you to reprogram the way objects behaved, essentially allowing the creation of entirely new games. Each subsequent game added a selection of new objects, the most important being "spirits" that follow the walls and have to be guided into a cage, allowing for the creation of ever more intricate logical puzzles. Repton 3 is the most popular game of the series, as it strikes just the right balance in terms of bite-sized puzzles and variety of obstacles, and also allows the character sprites to be redesigned. Many of the Mission Pack Sequels take advantage of this by placing Repton in a completely different setting, ranging from the American West to the far future.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Beginning in 2003, the games (so far not including Infinity) have been re-released for the PC by Superior Interactive, followed by a handful of Expansion Packs. An additional BBC Micro game, Repton: The Lost Realms, originally written in 1988 and lost, was rediscovered in 2008 and published in 2010. | |

Video Game Long-Runners: Thirty-three years separate the first game from the most recent. The BBC Micro games alone span twenty-five years, which is a record for that platform. | |

Instant-Win Condition | |
| Repton (Video Game) / int_13f5b1b | comment |
Instant-Win Condition: In Repton 1, collecting the last diamond instantly wins a level, even if it's in an inescapable trap. In fact, this is sometimes used deliberately to force a particular diamond to be the last to be collected. Repton 3 averts this trope by adding the timebomb as a Level Goal. The Lost Realms allows levels to have multiple timebombs, so defusing the last timebomb is now an instant win. | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change | |
| Repton (Video Game) / int_1467a30c | comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: In some levels, such as the last level of the "Prehistoric" scenario, Repton is chased by spirits throughout the entire level, until he unblocks their cages. These levels tend to contain no or very few rocks, normally the games' main puzzle element. | |

Violation of Common Sense | |
| Repton (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Violation of Common Sense: In Repton 2 you can run through an egg while it is hatching. Needless to say, one puzzle requires this. Repton 2 also awards points for colliding with a skull (which kills you). The maximum score therefore requires completing a No-Damage Run so that you have two spare lives you can deliberately lose. | |

Check-Point Starvation | |
| Repton (Video Game) / int_2bfd6a1e | comment |
Checkpoint Starvation in Repton 2: The BBC Micro original has no savepoints or passwords at all, and is thus the only game of the series that requires completion in one sitting. The PC remake adds a savepoint to the Hub Level. Most levels return you to the hub once completed; the exceptions are Levels 15—20, which must be completed in a chain, with only one savepoint, at the start of Level 17. | |

Marathon Level | |
| Repton (Video Game) / int_6dc206c9 | comment |
Marathon Level: The last level of "Work" is the longest level of Repton 3. Connecting one cage requires shunting a large number of rocks, with spirits going round the level the whole time that have to be dodged and waited for. But that pales in comparison with the longest level of Repton Infinity, RobboB Level 1. This level is a maze of grass that has to be gradually mowed away, with objects stuck in the grass that have to be carefully freed and transported. The current record for this level is 23 minutes. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Repton (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: The "Repton shuffle", stepping aside from under a rock and immediately pressing the opposite horizontal direction so you push it in mid-fall. There's no hint of this being possible before you reach the first puzzle requiring it. (Still, it's possible to reach the solution on a "when you have eliminated the impossible" basis.) The Superior Interactive re-releases have slightly different gameplay; in particular, on the remakes of Repton 1 and 2 (but not 3) you aren't killed by an egg landing on you, a fact it's important to know for some puzzles (which can be disconcerting for those familiar with the original versions). | |

Luck-Based Mission: Some levels of Repton 2 have a "planetary surface" at the top of the level. Repton can emerge and walk along the surface, but has to dodge falling meteors. It's possible for bad luck to drop meteors in an inescapable pattern. Fungus in Repton 3 grows randomly unless it's contained. On levels where this is impossible, the fungus can sometimes just decide to grow where you don't want it. | |

Stopped Numbering Sequels | |
| Repton (Video Game) / int_b9a27725 | comment |
Stopped Numbering Sequels: The fourth game is Around the World in 40 Screens. Repton Infinity included a subgame called Repton 4, acknowledging that the previous games were Mission Pack Sequels and this was the first game since Repton 3 to add new objects. However, EGO: Repton 4 reused the same number. Repton: The Lost Realms also had Repton 4 as a working title, but this was changed to avoid confusion with the other two Repton 4s. It couldn't be Repton 5 either because it wasn't the fifth game, so numbers were abandoned entirely. | |

Timed Mission | |
| Repton (Video Game) / int_bb48f8ba | comment |
Timed Mission: In the first game, every level has a time limit of 6 minutes, after which Repton instantly loses one life. Repton 3 and The Lost Realms also have time limits, but how much time varies from one level to another. The early levels of a scenario usually give enough time that it's hard to notice the time limit, while on other levels, time is a major factor in the level's difficulty. Also, collecting a time capsule resets the level's clock. | |

Must Have Caffeine: In the "Work" scenario, the time capsule (giving Repton more time to complete the level) is represented by a cup of coffee. | |

| Repton (Video Game) / int_be11f605 | comment |
Invisible Block: Three scenarios make the safes invisible; fortunately, this only lasts until you collect a key. | |

Anti-Hero | |
| Repton (Video Game) / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: Repton's task is always to collect diamonds (sometimes replaced with another valuable), with no regard for who owns them. Some scenarios imply that he is on the shady side of the law; for instance, in "America" he must obtain a gun to rob safes, and in "Victorian" he is pursued by police. | |

There Is Another | |
| Repton (Video Game) / int_c555059a | comment |
There Is Another: Collecting a key opens all the safes on a level, so a second key has no effect, and so there will usually only be one. However, sometimes (e.g. the fourth level of "Encore") there will be an unobtainable key early on as a Red Herring, and There Is Another later in the level. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Repton (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
The last level of The Lost Realms is a maze full of doors, with the password "ADORABLE". It's a Shout-Out to a level of Kye that made the same pun. | |

Fungus Humongous | |
| Repton (Video Game) / int_e0e3579a | comment |
Fungus Humongous: The fungus in Repton 3 can grow to cover entire levels unless you keep it contained. The Lost Realms takes it further: each level has a hidden "fungus speed" variable ranging from 0 to 7. Speed 0 is so fast that the fungus can grow to flood the level in seconds! | |

Fake Difficulty | |
| Repton (Video Game) / int_e4e86215 | comment |
Fake Difficulty: The "Oceans" scenario represents diamonds as pearls in shells, and skulls (which are deadly on collision) as empty shells, so they require care to tell apart. Safes are hidden pearls, making them invisible until a key (torch) is collected. In the "Future" scenario, blank space looks like earth (representing space dust) and skulls look like blank space (representing the deadly vacuum of space). | |

Hub Level | |
| Repton (Video Game) / int_e7eb0474 | comment |
Hub Level: On Repton 2, all levels except the last two are accessed via transporters on the first level. In the PC remake, additional scenarios often have more complex structures, but having one or more hub levels is still common. | |

Crossover: Thanks to the level editor, unofficial Repton 3 scenarios exist based on media ranging from ThunderCats and Coronation Street to Sailor Moon. Repton the character also appears in Trakka as a hostile entity — according to the manual, he is angry at his game being taken over! | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential: Some scenarios replace the monster with people of the same species as Repton, such as the teacher in "School" and the boss in "Work". Repton has to kill them just like any other monster. | |

Repton 2 also awards points for colliding with a skull (which kills you). The maximum score therefore requires completing a No-Damage Run so that you have two spare lives you can deliberately lose. | |
