This is a good game if you want something simple for a rainy day in. The graphics are good. The "puzzles" aren't extremely difficult #you won't need hints#. The storyline was cute until they threw in some random romance. I would give it a much higher rating if the gameplay was a little longer.

Big huge pixels hurt my eyes! Even more annoying is when a game's resolution is so low, it doesn't catch all mouse movements. Prepare yourself for some knee-slappin' curse word fun when the timer is loudly clicking; you are on the correct cell, you are hitting the correct mouse button, but it's not "getting it!" I don't want to waste any more time making this review look pretty, so in a nutshell - skip this one.
I purchased the full version of this and still play it regularly!
Endless playtime - the difficulty level increases forever! With the pleasant look & sound, it is easy to play for either hours or run a quick game in a couple minutes. 3 different match modes to choose from; truly something for everybody.
I seriously handled this for about 3 minutes. I made 3 moves & just couldn't take it. The huge pixels were hurting my aesthetics. You should download it just to flashback to your Intellivision memories. Seriously, check it out.
Really, the quality of image was exactly like those old PC games that took up 3/4 of your whopping 1MB computer. So if you're feeling nostalgic, go for it! Otherwise, don't waste your time.
That really is the best way to put it. It immediately feels rudimentary; I think some might even find it condescending. I couldn't even get through the tutorial before losing all interest. The graphics are remedial, at best (EG, the font looked like a Print program on an old IBM), and there's a huuuuge lag advancing through these tombstones - just enough time to drink your juice or get your glasses. And go to the bathroom.
Since I am "not to reveal details that would spoil a game's plot or story for someone who hasn't played it yet," there is NO WAY I can say one thing about it. <That's ok, because all I can come up with is one bad thing.>
On the good side - I would recommend it very highly to parents & grandparents, as a learning tool and/or general distraction technique. No, seriously.
