Quick Review:
Introduction:
The download size is only 6.98Mb and once installed will take up only 8.63Mb of disc space. There were no problems installing the game. You’ll find the usual ‘separate’ activation and setup modules.
The Game
This is a very simple game where you have to create stable towers by shuffling numbered blocks around. You are competing against the computer. There are simple instructions provided which are accessible via the main menu; these instructions are animated so tke some time to read and watch each page. You can play any level by selecting the practice mode or go straight into the game proper and select Quest.
The options menu is found at the top right hand part of the screen. In the form of buttons. These are self explanatory. You can adjust the music
You select from a given number or one that’s unknown. You can replace any of the tiles on your pile with the one that’s presented, or, if it’s not suitable choose the unknown one. If neither of the numbers are useful you can opt to miss your turn and hope to get a better number, or use the ones provided initially. If the number you can see is larger than the one on top of the pile go for the unknown number. If this is shown to be higher as well you can either discard your turn and try again or use the number provided. The aim is to build as stable a tower as possible. The one who creates the most stable tower that starts with a high number at the bottom and successively lower numbers above wins the game.
The game is fully mouse controlled.

Conclusion:
A very simple game, that’s nicely rendered in a cartoon style with 25 levels of Monkey mayhem (lol). Not my type of game, but comparing it to similar games ( we got one similar from double games last summer, but I can’t remember the name of the game) it’s well made. I can’t really score today’s game because I’m biased against it. It’s a great game for teaching your children number sequences.
Thank you Gambana games and the game giveaway team for another new game. :)
p.s.
I’ve made a video, but can’t find the video converter I used last week to convert my Camtasia file to FLV, so that I can upload it to You tube. I’ll post it later if I can.
