Linx

Post by eMTe »

In Linx you are presented with an operating field divided into 168 tiles - fourteen squares in a row and twelve per column. On the playfield you will find bases occupying these tiles. Your objective is to connect the bases of the same color using the paths of the same color. The paths can only be connected to themselves orthogonally, one path per tile, and the different colors can't cross.

There is a built-in editor, which allows you to create your own levels.

This is a must try. Once again a puzzler has made me a bit more of fan of the genre. I really really like this!
Great soundtrack for playing, great graphics with not too much and not too little, great gameplay with everchanging conundrums of little twists. This game plays mindtricks on you, so you are sure of what you should be doing and when you finally see the solution it was WAYYY more easy than that.
Hurry up and play!

A nice brain teaser at first, but after a while you will get a much better understanding of the basic level design and how to solve certain constellations. After that the game isn't that hard anymore (but there is still a hard level from time to time).

Still a good puzzle game and I will give an extra point for the level editor that is very easy to use. The only real flaw I can see is the music. Some might consider it oldschool, but it really got on my nerves and I was happy there was an option to turn it off.
