Рак на горе: proverb puzzles

"When the crayfish whistles on the mountain" is the Russian way of saying "never". In this game the crayfish sets out to do just that: climb twelve mountains and whistle from the top. Ninety-eight levels, each named after a Russian proverb, and each proverb played out by a mini-game that fits it. The game is in Russian.

FOURTEEN MINI-GAMES
• Runner: jump over rakes, crevasses and an avalanche.
• Pairs: open matching cards before the moves run out.
• Match-3: collect what the level asks for.
• Spot the difference: two pictures, one of them upside down on the last mountain.
• Pouring: sort liquids by colour, then make a recipe layer by layer.
• Log tower: pull logs without toppling the pile.
• Words: spell the answer to a riddle carved on a stone.
• Fifteen puzzle: slide tiles until the picture is whole.
• Ball of yarn: swipe a magic ball of yarn through a maze to the exit.
• Pipes, shells, melody, one line and minesweeper: a new twist on every mountain.

TWELVE MOUNTAINS
Each of the first six has its own characters from Russian folk tales: a goat in the garden, Baba Yaga, the ferryman, the three-headed dragon Gorynych and the sleeping Nightingale the Robber.

Beyond the summit lie six more, thrice-nine lands away: the Thrice-Nine Kingdom, Bear's Corner, Buyan Island, Morozko, Koschei's Kingdom and the Firebird. There are the taiga and sea islands, an ice palace, the night castle where Koschei gloats over his gold, and the clouds where the Firebird nests.

HOW IT KEEPS GOING
• Five drops are your lives. A win is free, a loss costs one drop, and a drop comes back every 20 minutes.
• Wins earn notes. Every three notes open a promise in the book of things everyone promised to do "when the crayfish whistles".
• Once a day three shells hide a gift: drops, notes, a bomb or a charm.
• A leaderboard shows you under a generated name you can change.
• A level takes one to three minutes. Downloaded levels work offline.
