Game Classification

Hero's Puzzle Path is an original take on the 2D puzzle/action genre. Its standard game type spans 70 levels and has a player helping the hero make a safe path from his home tile to the enemy beastie's tile by matching tile colors end to end that might remind someone of dominoes. Success is based on using three tools that flip a tile, change a tile's colors, or destroys a hostile trick or trap the springs open to stop progression.

Use the three spells alone to start, but with experience a person will see how they can be rapidly combined together for complex solutions if the outcome is imagined a few steps ahead. This will be critical for success as boards become more difficult with less time, longer paths, and more traps.

The game starts simple, but gets tricky as paths split and turn on themselves and more and more tiles are introduced. The puzzle-aspect activates the mind trying to make a good path from end to end so that spells travel further because you want to reach the enemy beastie before time runs out. Time pressures and sudden enemy attacks make players move quickly to respond.

Unlock three additional game types:
Dominate - a 1 versus 1 against the CPU for ownership of a 15 custom-built boards;
Frenzy - a survival game where lasting longer earns points on a randomly created board, and
Builder where random board pieces pop up demanding clever use of them while building a working path from beginning to end. [source:mobygames]
