3D Logic - Free Online Puzzle Game
A colleague of mine sent me a link to this game and I spent the next hour playing through the 30 levels. This is a great example of a game that has a simple concept and simple mechanics, yet is still challenging enough to hold the player captive.
Don’t assume it’s a ‘Rubic’s Cube’ type of game, even though it looks like one! The object of the game is simple. You must link together the like-colored tiles located on the surface of a 3-dimensional cube. You link the tiles by selecting an initial colored tile and then dragging the mouse across a three dimensional path of the cube until you meet the other similar colored tile.
Sounds easy enough, right? Well, it is in the early rounds. The first couple of puzzles seem to exist just to get the player used to the movement of the puzzle and the concept of the game. The solutions to these early puzzles are obvious, as there is only one path to link each of the pairs.
The difficulty seems to jump at level 10 and level 20 and there are two sticky puzzles in the middle of those difficulties: level 16 and level 23. Have fun with those!
There are no level or diffficulty selections for this game, so it’s basically a straight through type of game. You can continue from where you left off if you leave early and come back to the game later.
As far as replay value goes, I suppose it depends on your memory. The lower levels are easily whipped through after you’ve played them once. Those sticky levels (16 & 23) will get you every time though (unless you memorize the pattern).
All in all, I think it was worth the hour of play. YMMV.
