Shift 2 has 120 levels. I’ve spent about 1 hour and am stuck on level 9. It’s hard and fun. And that’s the bottom line.

The object is to get your man to the door. Pick up a key, avoid the deadly spikes. When you Shift, the maze does a 180 and your man will turn white and enter the black part of the maze.  Very clever.

This is a review about the Medallion Puzzle designed by Oskar van Deventer and manufactured by the Japanese puzzle company named Hanayama. This version of the puzzle is also exclusively licensed to the Puzzle Master company. The Objective of this puzzle is to free the puzzle pieces through navigating a series of mazes. When I started this puzzle, I tried to move the two pegs found in the center of the puzzle. I won’t go into the solution method but let’s just say that an alternative approach is required. The puzzle has four mazes. The two mazes on the gold [Read More...]

Today’s online game is a fun little game called Orbox B.  The object of the game is to manoeuvre your little red square until you can exit the level.  When you push the red square in a certain direction you will continue going until you hit an object.  Which means if there is no object to stop you, you will continue on until you reach the edge of the screen.  As the game gets harder, you get less and less patient to try out different moves to solve the puzzle.

I quite enjoy games like this.  [Read More...]

Being a lover of puzzles does have its draw backs.  You are constantly looking for something challenging enough to keep your mind happy and fun enough to appeal to the happy person inside.  This game does both for me.  The game is called Flow Free.

You start off with matching colors on the screen.  The object is to connect the matching colors with a line.  The size of the board that you have to manoeuvre through gets bigger as the levels get harder.  You start off with a 5×5 board and 4 or 5 colors.  Working [Read More...]

The Xmatrix are a new type of Dexterity 3D maze puzzles, invented by the designer Jeremy Goode and are available for purchase since November 2010. The Xmatrix Quadrus was entered at the 2010 30th IPP and the Xmatrix Qubus was later entered at the 2011 31st IPP Design Competitions.

First Impression

The Object of Super Numbers is to tap on some tiles that add up to the number on top.  Keep doing this until the board is empty.

My first impression: too simple and easy. My second impression: the game gets harder and the time goes faster.

Right now my high score is 30,550 which places me in 4th place.

I have a feeling that I’ll be playing this again.
