Puzzle: Underwater World

A buggy game. Some given puzzles happen to be unsolvable (odd permutations, see Loyd's puzzles), while for the rest of the puzzles, the game may even fail to check if the board has been solved. Also, there seems to be no cursor or keyboard control, so clicking only.

Overall: 2/10

If you've so much as looked at the games pictures, you know what you're getting here. I've done a lot of variations of this kind of puzzle and am very quick at them. The game offers 3 different boards (puzzles) in 3x3, 4x4, or 5x5. The starting placements are random. When you solve one, the puzzles don't end, the counter doesn't stop, and there's no congradulations message. So, if you like doing the simple number puzzles and nothing else, then get it. If you don't want to spend $0.50, then I'm sure you can find a flash version online for free. Also, there is no volume control in game, so I had to reduce its volume on Windows Volume Mixer(the game was very loud when opened).

I tried playing this game several times. Unfortunately, no matter how many times I restarted, the game never acknowledged any completed boards. The clock just continued to click down until I exited back to the main menu. It's too bad. I really enjoy these kinds of puzzle games, but I consider this unplayable.
