Tangle Bee is one of the most unique casual games I've seen in a while since the Diner Dash series. The objective is to help untangle a group of bees caught in a spider's web before the spider gets to their honey pot. To do so, move the bees around so that the lines don't cross. Earn extra points for combination moves. At higher levels, the bees become more tangled, and not surprisingly the spider moves a little faster towards the honey. Another spider also occasionally swoops down to trap one of the bees so it's immobile. Fortunately, help arrives in the form of the Queen Bee, who is sometimes tangled among her subjects. When freed, the Queen releases a special token that has special abilities, such as stopping the spider momentarily.Although it's definitely kid friendly, Tangle Bee offers five modes of play that appeal to everyone. Tangle Bee Classic is the regular, single player version, while Tangle Trouble and Tangle Puzzle are more challenging. Children can enjoy a simplified version of the game with Tangle Bee Kids, while those who want to take it easy can play Timeless Tangle Bee.I thought that the game was enjoyable, with nice graphics and music. I liked the cute little touches, such as bees falling asleep when they haven't been moved in a while. What I liked best about Tangle Bee though, is that it isn't another clone of an existing game. It's something fresh and new.
FeyrunaWriter: Jim Symcox
Feyruna: Fairy Forest is a game that is suitable for any age, both my five-year-old daughter and I enjoyed playing it. The game reminds me a little of Galaxians that used to run on those big chunky arcade machines that took so much of my cash in my younger days.Where you are presented with a stationery screen and a lot of "aliens" swooping down at you from above. You then move your ship around the screen shooting the aliens and clearing them off each new level.That said the graphics are better than Galaxians and are very well done, as are the sprites, such as your fairy and the various baddies. They are well executed and cute too!The game has over 50 levels that you progress through with your fairy picking up spells that allow you to defeat the baddies as you progress. The programmer has done a great job on the interface, it's simple and allows you to choose to redo a level if you want to. Your fairy (or Glowie as it's called) is manipulated by moving the mouse around. You simply collect groups of buzzing bees. If you collect all of one group you get a bonus. More and more baddies are introduced into the game as you progress.To even the odds you get spells dropping from the sky that help you for a while. One I particularly enjoyed was the lightning spell that creates balls of lightning that swing around your fairy dealing death to the baddies who come too close.All in all, a game that my daughter and I both enjoyed playing. Is it a game that we'd eagerly turn to? Well, my daughter asked me to set it going again so she certainly liked playing it. As for me it was a little nostalgic but I think I'll stick to my current crop of war and RPG games!
Wu Hing: The Five ElementsWriter: Anand Ramachandran
Wu Hing: The five Elements is a single player strategy board game in which you compete against the computer opponent by strategically placing hexagonal tiles (which represent the five elements, namely wood, fire, earth, water and metal) on a gameboard. By placing tiles smartly, you can create new elements, destroy or capture your opponent's elements. Doing so earns points, and the player with the most points at the end wins. Sounds simple? This is one of those classic easy to learn, difficult to master kind of games that provide hours of deep, satisfying and addictive game play. Top-notch production values make for a package that will appeal to fans of the genre and casual players alike. Nice.
