An interesting game that's sadly too short and unbalanced
You have a board of colored hexagons with obstacles (here rocks), and each character starts from an end of the board. The object is to own at least 50% of the board. To do so, you'll choose one color of six to gain ground by connecting to the matching colors immediately next to your cursor on the grid. If you completely circle hexagons, they become yours without having to connect them.
Although you have six colors available, two will be unavailable : the one you used during your previous turn, and the one used by your opponent.
So you'll have to sacrifice a step forward to prevent your opponent to gain more ground by using the most appropriate color (which you so just "stole"). Furthermore, you have a special attack that affects the game (add an obstacle, remove one, block more colors or even shuffle all free hexagons on the board). Each of the 4 game characters has her/his (3 out of 3 characters are female) specific special, and you'll sonn find some are useless, and that basically, only shuffle and color block are really useful tricks.
To break the monotony of this semmingly simple but cunning play system, there are special matches that pop-up in some rounds, such as race round or king round.
Race round will have you and your opponent try to be the first to touch the checkered flag by connecting hexagons, covered ground matters not.
King round is hellishly hard and unbalanced, and will have you and your opponent fight over a bigger grid containing three crowns, and you'll have to own 2 out of 3 to win. To claim a crown, you have to possess half of its circling hexagons (that makes 6 out of 12). Unfortunately, you'll often play these modes against either the little magician boy or the queen (sorry I don't remember their names), who will gleefully use their magics (color block for the former, and shuffle for the latter) to mercilessly torture you into watching them win with you unable to do anything remotely significant.
The game is also desperately short. 4 characters, 4 2-round matches in Single mode, VS Mode, Options mode (where you can set the time limit for your round, and set the controls), and that's all folks. Sadly there's nothing more, hopefully nothing less...
The difficulty settings help add some challenge, but that's not going very far either...
The graphics are simple, since you almost only see the grid, but the colors are pretty and bright, and the character design is cute enough not to annoy you (I like the girl in green with the whip). Sound and music-wise, its nothing to write home about, and will remind you of a ton of decent Flash games you have played at work, but it won't stick to your mouth for you to hum afterwards.
The game principle had nice and accessible ideas, but the lack of balance or even the simple presence of a lifespan make the game a huge letdown, provided you have paid more than 5 bucks for this game.
