GridWorks is a logic puzzle game by Puzzles.com

To place a token or a wild card on the grid first click its image in the right sidebar and then click the respective cell of the grid.

GridWorks puzzles are also available in pdf format so you can download them and solve these logic puzzles off line. The only thing I miss in this game is that used used colored tokens are not marked. Happy Puzzling!

A few months ago I already wrote about the V-Cube which solves the problem we know with Rubik's Cube when it has more than three layers. They are very vunreable and break down very easily. With V-Cube this problem is now solved. V-CUBE products are manufactured under the V-Cube technology, invented and patented worldwide by the Greek engineer Panagiotis Verdes. V-Cube technology made the construction of cubes, of an unlimited number of layers providing safe and smooth rotation possible.

The use of V-Cube technology made feasible the construction of cubes of more than 5 layers, something that believed to be unattainable for over 20 years. In order to prove this, Mr P.Verdes and his team are presenting the V-Cube 6 and the V-Cube 7.

At the same time, V-Cube technology has resulted to the design, construction & industrial production of smoother, safer and sturdier cubes of existing sizes (V-Cube 5). Furthermore, existing knowhow & patent ownership allows the construction of more complex designs, such as the V-Cube 11!

V-Cube products are addressed to hobbyists and fans of puzzle games. Their unique features allow literally everyone to enjoy them, regardless the player's level of experience in such games. Each cube gives you an impetus to exercise and become more mentally fit and sharp!

Officially V-cube would be launched in September 2008, but is now already available in the V-Cube Store. The V-cube collection starts with five layers for Euro 25 / around US$ 40.

Unlike other computer puzzle games, Gaia 3D Puzzle is in 3D. That means that you can see your puzzle as a real jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are as real as true jigsaw pieces. The pieces are not pre-cut image shapes. They are generated from advanced mathematic procedures to give you the exact look and feel of true jigsaw pieces. You can even see and feel the cardboard thickness.

With this puzzle game, you are able to play puzzles from nine to 2000 pieces. Even your children will be able to play and enjoy the same puzzle you play, but with less pieces.

Another feature you will not find on classic jigsaw puzzle is the possibility to choose the shape of your pieces. You can choose among 4 different pieces shapes. That increases or decreases the difficulty level. You can also choose the degree of distortion in the pieces. That means the pieces can all look the same, which is harder to play, or all look really different, which is easier to play.

Flux is a simple physics based Flash puzzle game with thirty levels.

Flux tasks you with chaining together bubbles to make combos that match the color of the center orb. As the timer counts down, grab as many bubbles as you can to meet your quota.

Create clusters of the active colour (color of counter in the middle) to reach the target before the counter runs out. Drag like-colored balls together to start a cluster. Once a cluster of two or more is made, smaller clusters of single balls of any color can be added to it. If needed single balls can be changed to the active color by dragging them to the counter

Tips: Bigger clusters will award you much more points than a number of smaller clusters although bigger clusters will get too heavy to drag around as they grow larger, create smaller clusters and join them.
