Manix is a bit, erm, strange to say the least. You (and a friend in two player mode) adopt the roles of grinning blobs traversing a number of screens across a number of levels. These screens are made up of tiles, and some nasty devil has been changing their colours (oh no!).
It's your job to change all the tiles back to their original colours. This incredibly simple task is made a mite more difficult by the fact that each screen has a number of nasties floating about - and they mean business!
Manix is a simple game with a whole wodge of extra options thrown in to liven up the game somewhat. Two players can compete against each other, or work as a team. A mini-construction kit is also in there which enables you to redefine the game's parameters.
This game isn't a wild and crazy excursion to Excitement City, but it does rank as one of the more original releases we've had in this month.
Quite a jolly little puzzler/arcade game - check it out if you're after something different.
