The absence of a new Burn the Rope game over the past couple of years probably led you to believe that the series has burnt itself out.

Given that Burn the Rope 3D came out today on the App Store (without much fanfare at all), that wouldn't appear to be the case.

As in previous Burn the Rope titles, you light up ropes and then tilt them so that your flame travels along the entire length of the yarns in Burn the Rope 3D.

The biggest difference this time around, though, is that the rope puzzles are presented in 3D. The game's name probably gave that away, to be fair.

To fully tilt and turn the ropes in three dimensions, you use both fingers and touchscreen controls. It works pretty well, and the 3D element certainly adds a welcome challenge to the familiar gameplay.

As expected, the coloured bugs make a comeback here. You have to burn these to change the colour of your flame in order to set the different coloured ropes ablaze.

I haven't got far enough into this new game to confirm that the water bugs from Burn the Rope: Worlds are present in Burn the Rope 3D, but I'd imagine they are.

If you need something to warm yourself up during this chilly season, consider picking up Burn the Rope 3D on the App Store for £1.99 / $2.99.
