A Very Good Logic Puzzle Game! What this game is: It is a puzzle game where you have to link sets of two points of the same colour together using all the same coloured objects and transit points on each setup. How does it work? You need to use all of the space that is available on each setup in order to solve it. Success is defined by having linked all items of the same colour on a given setup without having unused locations. Once a setup is complete, the game allows you to go to the next one automatically. The game presents you with 26 ensembles of 25 setups to solve, which means basically 650 setups. There are also daily setups, each day two ensembles going from 16 to 26 setups are provided. How does it perform? The game is very easy to play. This game is intuitive but requires sometimes some serious thinking, and progress is made at your own pace. There is no timer and you can take yout time in solving a setup. There are many puzzles that are easy, but you will encounter some that will require deep thinking and thus prove challenging. The good points: Simple, efficient and absorbing game. It has a good accompanying minimalist sound generating effect that is actually pleasant and relaxing. Each time you solve a setup you get rewarded by a deep reverberating sound that is surprisingly pleasant. The game may be challenging at times and will be quite rewarding to play. There are Achievements, and getting them is quite easy, as you only need to solve all 26 ensembles of setups, and play up to 10 daily ensembles of setups (meaning that in order to get all the Achievements, you have to solve 830 setups). The game generates new puzzles every day, providing some replay value. It has good settings that can be modified to your own taste, including a choice of 12 different languages. The game takes less than 250 MB on your HD, and will run on a 10 years old PC. The price asked of it is fair and worth what you will get out of it. You should get more than 30 good hours of play out of it, depending on your speed in solving the puzzles. It has Steam Trading Cards. The bad points: For me there is no real negative points to this game. It is well made, has no bug I could oberve and was overall a very smooth experience. My take on this: If you like a good and sometimes challenging puzzle game, this is for you. The sound ambiance is good, the simple graphics help you concentrate, the mechanics of the game are easy to grasp. It is a low price game that will provide you with hours of relaxing and entertaining puzzle solving game. No stress, easy gaming, for the basic price that is asked of it, you cannot go wrong. If you find it at a discount, grab it, it is more than worth it for the puzzle afficionado.

A deceptively simple puzzle where you draw lines between shapes, but as the shapes and requirements grow it can become an interesting time waster with moderate brain teasers. The sheer volume of what you get also has some value, not only is the core game 675 puzzles, there's endless daily puzzles as well. If you're attempting to do the achievements, the volume of puzzles is potentially tedious. Set yourself a reasonable pace of 1 or 2 sets (of 25, broken up by letter from A to Z) at a time and you'll find it more manageable. --- Bottom line: At $3 or less you'll find there's a lot here, assuming you like simple brain teasers. --- [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38232109/]While you are here, would you consider following my curator page?
