Enigmo 2 Game Review
Macheist, the heist themed Mac software bundle company, recently gave out some free software for Christmas, calling it the “Mac Giving Tree.”
One of the apps they gave out is called Enigmo 2, a space-themed puzzle game where the object is to manipulate water, lasers, and plasma particles from their starting faucets to their respective drains. The player places mirrors, bouncing drums, cannons, and other interloping devices on the three-dimensional board to guide the flow of matter to its destination. The round is over when 50 particles of each element are contained. There is no way to lose, but bonus points are given for completing it within the time limit.
The user is also able to create their own game with the built-in editor. Could be fun; I’m yet to try it out.
Pros
Enigmo 2 is fun and easy to play. It reminds me a game called “The Incredible Machine,” which used the same sort of physics but applied them to Rube Goldberg type objectives and items. Also, it’s free!
Cons
Certain stages require working in all three dimensions, and navigating around is often far from intuitive. The camera controls aren’t documented, so you’re kind of on your own figuring out how it all works.
