Another Tile-Moving-And-Removing Game
Posted by Brad Adrian in "SOFTWARE" @ 03:00 AM
Original Games, which just recently launched its TeenTris game, has also completed another game, Arrows.
The gameplay seems simple enough. You're faced with a 6X6 grid containing variously-colored tiles with arrows on them. All you have to do to remove the tiles is slide them in the direction of their arrows in order to create blocs of like-colored tiles. It reminds me a lot of games like Bubblets, Slurp and Diamond Mine. As is often the case with seemingly simple games, though, Arrows can be VERY addictive.
I'm going to play a little while longer with the free demo, but at $9.95 I might be tempted to buy the full version. That's about as much as I like to pay for such simple games, but if it'll keep me entertained during a boring meeting, it's worth the price.
