Aha!
Welcome to Aha!Game. It's a nice logic game that will keep you for a long time at your PC - for the game is terribly addictive. It is attractively designed, is extremely easy to play and very challenging. The game is equally entertaining both for children and adults - cute computer-style interface and a variety of user-selected themes will make it your favourite game for a long period of time. All new themes that we are planning to create you'll be able to find on our site. Whilst playing, you may listen to the background music - supplied, or custom. How to play -The rules The gameplay is very easy. The playing field is filled with various object - geometrical figures, funny creatures, rails, etc. (the exact look depends on the theme chosen). The object of the game is to maximize your score by removing as many items from the playing field as possible. As you move the mouse pointer over the items, connected groups of same items alter their appearence - start spinning, flashing, etc. Their behaviour also depends on the theme selected. All the spinning/flashing items will be removed when you click the mouse button. If you play a Downward type game, then as items are removed, the upper ones will fall down to fill the space left. When you remove all items from a column, the items to the right will be pushed over to join with the remaining items. For an Upward type game things are on the contrary - the items (light-weight stuff like ballons, kites and other) rise higher as the space above clears, and shift to the left when a column disappears. A game of Assembly type is a bit more different. Here, you deal with items that can be connected to each other, such as rails, pipes, etc (the exact look depends on the theme), and remove connected groups that make solid path. The rules and the scoring system are the same. The trick is to remove as many items in a single group as you can. The game rewards you for large amounts of items removed at once. Small groups cost less or even nothing. If possible, avoid removing groups of only two items, for it won't increase your score. The game stops when there aren't any groups of 2 or more items of the same type left in the game, or when the playing field is completely cleared. Our Review: Ok, this game is addictive. I don't know if it's because of the high-quality graphics, or the gameplay which is really simple yet incredibly complex, if you get what I'm saying. This is really top notch as far as logistics programs go. It even has a tool for submitting your high scores to the web.
