LandFormer
Is It Any Good?
LANDFORMER is a true puzzle game, the kind where players sit and examine the puzzle and truly wrack their brains to figure out how to solve it. The board is laid out like a gridded landscape -- some squares containing tall mountains, others deep lakes, others with swamps or rolling hills -- and players need to flatten the earth. By raising low-lying areas and flattening high-ones, players must make the whole board one smooth level. But here's the trick -- players can't raise or lower on square at a time, they go up and down in groups. Figuring out the necessary pattern for each challenge can be tough, but LandFormer is a fun, intriguing, and very different kind of puzzle.
