Another Mine

Posted 07/24/2008 at 1:47am | by cyoung

A shareware title to pass the time between incredibly important work-related projects.

Another Mine is a Mac-native clone of Minesweeper. True to the meaning of the word “clone,” everything is exactly the same. Well, the icons are a little different, and we guess it might take true Minesweeper junkies about three rounds, give or take, to fully adjust to them. After that, they’ll be sweeping for mines till their fingers cramp up. Go ahead, email the link to all your recent (or wannabe) switcher friends who complain about the Mac’s lack of Minesweeper. They’ll appreciate it.

Word Twist shareware game

A shareware title to pass the time between incredibly important work-related projects.

Word Twist tasks you with solving a Wheel-of-Fortune-style puzzle by building words on the Boggle-like game board. You click the letters to make a word, and if the first letter of that word also appears in the puzzle, that letter will show up. You get 20 tries per round to uncover enough letters to solve the puzzle. Regular mode is 10 rounds, Quick mode is half that, and you can customize the board size, number of rounds, and puzzle categories in Free mode. Sound a little boring? If you’re not a huge fan of word games, it totally is. On the other hand, true fans of the genre will be appalled at the lack of keyboard controls—mouse-clicks only.

Aqua Forest

iPhone game makes plumbing fun again.

Aqua Forest creatively combines a sketching program with physics. Players draw with water, stone, ice, and other objects in an effort to move an object to a goal. After placed, a line of water or any object becomes animated, cascading with gravity and iPhone movement. Even when the iPhone or iPod touch gets frequently overwhelmed by too much action on-screen—the frame-rate drips at about ten per-second—the unique game stays playful and engaging. But Aqua Forest only reveals glimpses of its brilliance, with its rules changing too frequently and the roster of objects with which you can paint overwhelming our palette.

Check out the entire review after the jump.
