Game: Runes
Runes is an addictive and challenging puzzle game based on removing all
matching runes from the puzzle board. Although the concept is very simple,
it is extremely compelling and rewarding to play as puzzles increase in
complexity throughout the game.
Gameplay is similar to the popular Palm Pilot puzzle game "Vexed", however
it has been greatly improved upon both in terms of gameplay and graphics.
The game revolves around moving the runes around the board to get two or
more runes to be touching. When the runes touch, they are cancelled out and
vanish. Once all runes have been removed, the level is complete! To add an
additional challange, the player will be rated on how well they completed
each level, based on the number of moves taken to finish it. Try and
complete all levels with a "Perfect" rank! A full tutorial is available in
the game to help players get to grips with how to play.
Runes features a highly optimised 2D graphics engine for the Intel XScale
processor to deliver high quality visuals at a constantly high frame rate.
Graphical effects such as alpha blending and screen fading are used
throughout the game to excellent effect.
