Like Scrabble, you need to form crossword puzzles of interconnected words over a varying shaped board that contains double and triple letter and word value squares. Like Sokoban, you need to push letter tiles around without getting yourself stuck in a corner. Like a logic game, you need to collect gems and get to the exit while avoiding obstacles like holes, walls, ropes and more.
Three Ways to Play...
Some players like the 120 challenging puzzles that are part of puzzle mode which you can solve at your own pace and require both logic skill and word power to discover the solution.
Others prefer the more arcade-like marathon mode where you need to achieve a given number of points within the allotted time in order to advance to the next level and try to make it into the hall of fame.
And of course, when a friend is around, you may favor the friendly (or not so friendly) head-to-head competition mode where you choose the board layout, the number of rounds and the time allotted per player per round.
