Brix I
Put on your thinking caps and gamer's dexterity! This one will tax
your brain, stretch your imagination and give you hours of fun. You
may think it's easy, and several screens are. It's the ones that
seem absolutely impossible, with no solution in sight, that will expand
your horizons.
Brix is an arcade and puzzle experience! Don't let the ultra smooth
256-color VGA graphics and animation fool you into thinking Brix is
just an arcade game, because your brain will be taunted, teased, and
twisted as much as your reflexes.
Your task in Brix seems simple: Eliminate all of the colored bricks
by uniting them. But the 112 levels in Brix 1 are also habitated
by lasers, elevators, boiling acid, anti-gravity, teleporters, and
more! There are enough hand-crafted puzzles in this Epic
action-puzzler duo to keep you busy for eons.
Registration
Registration is $30 + $4 p&h, and earns you Brix I and Brix II Deluxe
(with 112 awesome new levels, level editor, and a level solver) and
a disk of Epic's latest bonus games.
Playing Brix
Your main goal is to remove all of the objects (brix) from the screen.
To remove them, you need to put them together -- which causes them
to explode. This is easy enough with two objects, but can be very
tricky with three or more. (Try to figure it out!). To pick up an
object, move the red cursor above it and press [space]. The cursor
turns white while you are carrying an object.
Secret Codes
When you leave the game (because you missed or finished a level),
you will be told a secret code. Remeber this! You can use it later
to start back at the level without going through all of the previous
levels. Use the Secret Code option in the main menu.
Difficulty levels
Brix has four difficulty levels ranging from easy to hard. While
you are first learning to play, we recommend the easy level. It gives
you more time to complete each puzzle.
While playing!
Press [Escape] to bring up a menu of options:
Abort game: Lets you leave the actual game. Use this option once
you've thoroughly given up and need to take a break!
Continue game: Keep on playing!
Retry level: Lets you start over from scratch on the current level,
in case you've gotten into an unsolvable mess. Beware, the time is
not set back!
Solve: Brix will solve the level for you. (Brix 2 Deluxe only!) This
will cost you 20000 points in the second level, 40000 points in the
third level, and so on.
Requirements:
VGA graphics (supports high-quality 256-color graphics)
80286 or faster processor
512K memory and DOS 3.0 or later
A Hard Disk
Lots & Lots of free time!
Also supports:
Sound Blaster & compatible music cards
Give this one a try. I think, as I always do, that you'll enjoy it.
