This is a set of challenging logic games and puzzles. The objective is to arrange the tiles in the center of the board to match the ones displayed along the game-area border. However, you move the tiles in groups of four or more by spinning them with a control located in the corner where four tiles touch. Similar to a 2D Rubik’s Cube, Cyclanoid is harder than it looks since you must get the tiles aligned without disrupting your previous work. It also includes a built-in visual puzzle builder for creating your own games. The graphics are attractive, and MIDI-based music and crisp digital sound effects add to the fun. Plus, an automated demo shows the movement options of the more complex games. When you purchase, you’ll get access to over 20 different puzzles, with various board sizes and skill levels.

This is a set of games and logic puzzles with various board sizes and controls to allow for easy, medium, or high skill levels. You can play offered games and create your own logic puzzles using built-in game builder.

Pros: Cyclanoid is a set of logic games and puzzles. One needs to change/ rotate the tiles so that rows line up. That is, each row of icons should be the same. The icon on the left of the game area shows the icons for each row that has to happen eventually. The only way to manipulate is to move a group of four tiles that have a icon in the center that indicates this set could be turned around this particular icon of a pivot. However, you move the tiles in groups of four or more by spinning them with a control located in the corner where four tiles touch. You click on the pivot to turn the group of 4. This is sort of similar to the movements used in Rubik’s cube, except that it is in 2 dimensions rather than 3. Cycla noid is harder than it looks since you must get the tiles aligned without disrupting your previous work.
