Featured Games

Ingenious

Ingenious is easy to play, but very difficult to master! Conquer the board through the careful placement of rows of colors. With every move, you create new possibilities. The more colored pieces are placed next to each other, the more points you can gain. The color that you need the most points in is the most important, because in the end, it will decide who wins or loses.

WWII Tank Commander

From France to Germany, you will destroy opposition from the war’s most fearsome tanks such as Panthers, Tigers and Hummels. Land on Utah Beach, cut off enemy forces at the Brittany Peninsula, smash Germans forces across the Moselle, relieve the besieged 101st Airborne at Bastogne, cross the Rhine and chase the German forces into Czechoslovakia. Engage in nonstop military arcade action with authentic weapons. Multiple mission styles are included with objectives such as Assault, Escort, Defense, and Rescue.

Glyph

In this unique puzzle adventure, the world of Kuros is dying. As a descendant of the Elemental Masters, it is up to you to restore Kuros to its once beautiful state by harnessing the powers of Wood, Fire, Water, Metal and Aether. Powerful and ancient Glyphs hold the key to restoring Kuros to its former beauty. Break through layers of rock by matching Guardstones and uncover the mystery of the Glyphs.

It’s a kind of interesting puzzle game that you have to play for a bit before you understand how it works.

Floating pieces combine into color schemes – red + yellow = orange, red + blue = purple, blue + yellow = green. Coloured pieces have to be within a specific range of the second colour you click to join your chain (example – if you click a red then a yellow, and there are seven floating yellows within a short distance of each other nearby, and three floating reds within a short distance of each other nearby, you’ll get an orange floatie worth 8. If you’d clicked yellow then red, you’d have an orange floatie worth 4. That orange floatie will then add its score to the next nearby red+yellow or yellow+red chain that you create). You need 10 pieces in a “chain” to score that combination.

Music’s a bit repetitive, and it’s somewhat targeted as a cutesie “girl game”, but it’s worth playing at least to the second round to understand the game mechanics.

Thanks, GGOTD. Worth a download to try, and I give this one a 6.5 out of 10 due to the novelty and the approach, although it’s a bit bland.

Look! I know I’m a computer dummy, but this is the second game by Merscom that I’ve downloaded and … it simply disappears into the bowels of my computer. No shortcut, no nothing. Help!!!
