Push, an early effort from CPC coder eliot. Don't let the colours put you off, as this is a great little game.

Push

Push is a two player puzzle game. The object of the game is to place a ball in the grid one per turn. You can then push the ball across the grid by placing another ball in its place. Adding variety to the play is the special moves which can be played by placing several balls at one time. The winner of the game is the first one to gain a line of their own balls across the grid. The game reminds me somewhat of the classic connect four game but with a twist. Graphics are good, although the opponent's ball colours are a little too similar to each other. The theme tune is frenetic and upbeat, but it can get a bit tiresome through time. Gameplay is okay, in the classic sense.

Second Opinion

I didn't really like this game at all. The graphics, while well drawn, are very monochrome and clash. The sound is average and the game may not last that long. With a bit more colour and options this could have been something.

First Day Target Score

Complete level one.

Verdict

A good little game, just missing something to make it great.
