^7 This is puzzle game which is loosely based on a sliding puzzle game.
^7There  are  tiles  to  slide  around, but they are not visible at all
^7times  as  in  the  more  traditional puzzle.  The tiles in this game
^7appear  one  by one in the top left corner of the screen and you have
^7to  move  them  into  place  with  the  joystick.   It's not quite as
^7straightforward as it sounds though.  Once you send a tile in motion,
^7it  will  not  stop until it bumps into an obstacle, either a wall or
^7another  block,  so  careful  manoeuvering  in sometimes needed.  The
^7screen  also has a number of fixed blocks which can hinder as well as
^7help.

^6 The  solution to the puzzle is shown at the bottom of the screen and
^6consists of words and blanks as in a crossword puzzle.

^7 The idea is to compete with the clock as you play the game.  You are
^7given  9  minutes in which to solve the puzzles, each time a level is
^7completed  you  are given a password so you can start from that point
^7next  time  you play.  You are allowed to restart a level, which also
^7resets the clock, but this can only be done three times.

^6 The  blocks  appear  in  a  set  order, sometimes this makes it look
^6rather  easy,  but  as you cannot ged rid of a block once it has been
^6out of the entry point, a false move can spell disaster.

^2 The game is quite addictive and well presented, it would make a good
^2addition to a puzzle game collection.
