Puzzle Corner - Flix v1.5

I saw a demo of Flix years ago but never managed to find the game
in the shops. Now it's been declared deleted, it is available
through various abandonware sites and when I saw it on one of them,
I couldn't help but download it!

Flix is a jigsaw program with a difference - all the pictures are
animated. They are abstract designs of various types including
rotating 3D shapes, pulsating plasma screens, rolling balls, sine
waves, rippling mesh effects and mazes. Most of them are very
brightly coloured ... one could almost say garish in some cases.
All of them are great fun to complete.  You can solve the puzzles
individually or as part of a series of games. Some of them, Joint
Venture and Mix 'n' Match, are two player games. The two I tried,
Single Mingle and Scramblecade, are solo games. In Single Mingle
you simply pick which puzzle you want to complete and get on with
it. But in Scramblecade, you complete the puzzles in sequence
against the clock. Various bonuses give you more time, and there
are five skill settings from Novice to Superb. These change factors
such as the initial time allowed, points per piece placed
correctly, points per puzzles, number of bonus squares and so on.
There is a save game option.

But mostly I was quite happy playing the games individually, using
the save option, and taking my time. There are two game sets, Fit
To Be Tiled and Grid Riddlers, each of which contains nine puzzles
so there are only 18 in all. I knew it wasn't going to take a long
time to complete it so I wanted to savour it. The game is great fun
and by changing the settings you could make some of the pictures
even harder to solve though I stuck to the default settings. I'm
very glad that I finally got the opportunity to play it.

I'm not going to add the game to the library but if anyone wants a
copy, just send me four first class stamps and I'll send you a copy
on a recycled disk. Or you can download it yourself from sites such
as Underdogs at http://underdogs.gamingdepot.com
