Hmm, that door sure looks tempting!

Right, the first thing I have to say is that you rarely get to play a  game with this sense of humour! You are a blond, somewhat dim-witted yet overly confident hero, who for some reason reminds me a lot of Bruce Campbell in the Evil Dead 3 ( I guess a big part of it is the voice and conversations with himself ) and your mission is to escape a deadly tower.

You start at the top and slowly have to work your way down. The majority of the gameplay here is luck-based and somewhat reminiscent of the oldschool pick a path adventure books. On each floor, you are given 3 doors and your task is to pick the right one in order to proceed. The funny thing here is, that a lot of the entertainment comes from picking the WRONG door and seeing the outcome … and trust me, some of the scenes are absolutely hilarious! The game uses the arrow keys to move the hero arround and enter doors and the S key for fighting and other actions.

Lucky Tower keeps things interesting by sprinkling in some light puzzles and battle scenes, as well as a few other new ideas along the way. I absolutely love this game and the fact that right until the end, it keeps a big grin on your face.

One of the easier puzzles you will encounter.

Have you ever played with those puzzles, consisting of a few blocks and impossible to take apart? This pretty much sums up Interlocked. Each level you are given a 3d puzzle made up of a few blocks that hold each other together. Your job is to grab, rotate and pull on it, until you get all the blocks apart and move to the next level. The control mechanics are very well done. Holding down the right mouse button and moving the mouse around let’s you free rotate, while pressing space, locks the object in the current position and let’s you pull on the individual pieces. With nice relaxing music to stimulate those brain waves and a good learning curve, Interlocked makes for a very fun puzzle game. Don’t get me wrong thou, as with it’s wooded counterpart, there will come a time when you’ll wish the blocks were real so you could use them to make a fire!
