For puzzle lovers, try the Triple Town game for the Kindle. At first glance it looks pretty darned silly. But start playing at a great puzzle emerges.
Build up your city by combining items. Collect three flowers into one space on the grid and they will turn into a more valuable bush for example.
There is a degree of strategy involved as you don’t want to fill the grid with unfinished buildings and so forth. But annoying barbarians and wizards will block your moves as they appear to take up space on the grid too, getting in your way. The occasional bomb will help remove unwanted items, and the odd magic crystal will allow you to mix up items to create something beautiful. Bejewelled for the Kindle was one reviewers opinion and we can see why.
No, its not pretty, but frankly not much is other than the written word when it comes to an ebook reader screen. But it is easy to pick up, and more thought provoking than you would imagine, once you start strategizing. And, crucially there is no timer so you can put this down and pick up where you left off next time around.
Of course, at its most basic level this is a “match 3 items” game. But it does have enough variation and planning to become far more involved and addictive than many such run of the mill games. The Triple Town Kindle Game is currently on the best seller list at Amazon’s Kindle Games list and we can see why.
