All three of Braintonik Games' Active Content Kindle games are 99 cents this week (thru July 25). Although the last on the list is 99 cents all the time (or, at least it has been, so far), that's a three dollar savings on the first two on the list. At these prices, I went ahead and picked up the one I didn't already have. These games are great fillers when you want to give your brain a bit to work on (or to play during commercials if watching TV). Great value, too, since we can load them on everybody's Kindle with one purchase.
Strimko (A Logic Game for Kindle)
Jump into Strimko and enjoy classic Sudoku gameplay with a twist!
The object of the game is to place a set of numbers in rows or columns without repeating them in any row or column. Strimko adds a concept of "streams" that crisscross throughout the puzzle. With streams, you must consider not only the rows and columns, but also the streams, and make sure that each contains different numbers.
You can choose from four different difficulty levels. Each difficulty level increases the size of the grid you play on: "Easy" has a 4x4 grid, while the "Master" level challenges you with a 7x7 grid. Each of the four difficulty levels has 30 different puzzles, allowing for a total of 120 different puzzles to play. A hint function can also let you keep playing if you get stuck.
Challenge yourself and tease your brain as you master the logic required to solve Strimko puzzles!
Blossom (A Puzzle for Kindle)
Solve clever puzzles with Blossom, the game that challenges you to create a network of pipes that water your flowers.
The goal of the game is to build an irrigation system that delivers water to flowers by manipulating the game tiles with water pipes on them. Just select the water pipe tiles and rotate them until the water flows through them and reaches the flowers to make them bloom.
When a pipe is connected to the water network it will fill up with water. Make sure the water flows in all the pipes to keep your flowers beautiful. You'll have to rotate the tiles with pipes, flowers, and that all-important watering can to make each part of the grid connect together and fill up every tile. All the flowers need to be connected to the watering can and every pipe must be used to finish the puzzle. Are you facing a drought? The Hint system is there to help you figure out the next best move.
With Blossom's 120 puzzles, spring is always just around the corner. Soon you'll be a fantastic florist, watering your way to a brighter future.
Futoshiki (A Logic Puzzle for Kindle)
Futoshiki is a Japanese number logic puzzle.
The rules of Futoshiki are deceptively simple but the game is challenging and addictive. Each row and column must be filled with unique numbers. However, Futoshiki has a twist. It adds greater-than or less-than signs between some cells. You must honor these signs in order to solve and complete the puzzles.
This collection of 120 puzzles is grouped into four different sets ranging from easy to expert. The grids are 5x5 in easy, medium, and hard modes. Expert mode holds thirty 7x7 puzzles. The game features annotations to help you keep track of possible solutions, and a hint function to help you keep playing if you get stuck.
