A puzzle game with music incorporated into it; Likwid sounds like my next favorite puzzle game. The basic premise of the game is to fill ‘collectors’ with ‘streams’ using ‘affectors’. If it all sounds complicated, don’t worry, it isn’t. The affectors are plenty and help us to do the job efficiently. They can change the direction, speed and color of the streams and guide them to the collectors, but we need to learn how to use them at the right time.
The music bit comes in when each collector is filled with the stream, and we can listen to an individual track. The whole song is played when we are successful in filling all the collectors. And what a range of music it is; from Duran Duran to Blind Melon and Poison to Smashmouth, it is quite a varied musical experience.
Likwid comes for free, and is really more like an introduction to what the game play is like. There is a Rehearsal that takes us through a demonstration of how each of the affectors works. There are nine of them, and are unique in their abilities. Once we are through this tutorial of sorts, we get to play a ‘real’ level, but the sad part is that there are only three of them. However, if we shell out $0.99, we can lay our hands on five more levels. And since we are quite hooked by the time we get to this part, it doesn’t seem so much of a pain doling out the money.
The graphics are top-notch in Likwid, which is one of the main reasons why the game play is so much fun. I wish that the game would load faster though. If the developers take care of such slight problems and hopefully add more levels in this version, Likwid would be one unique puzzle game not to be missed out on, as it is already a fun and challenging game.
