A simple, calm, and relaxing game but unfortunately doesn't have much depth to it.

User Rating: 6 | Lucid (2011) PC
Gameplay: 2/5
+ The idea behind this game is really simple. A game board is presented with a variety of colored blocks. You must draw a line through similar colored blocks to eliminate them. The trick is that in order to eliminate them you must be able to draw one single line through every single adjacent matching color. On the left of the screen you are presented a target color. Once you match this color then a meter will fill and a new target color is presented. Once this meter is full the level is complete.
You can score additional point bonuses by matching consecutive target colors. So the first time you match a target then your next turn will give you x2 points. If you match the target immediately after this you will earn x3 points on your next turn, and so on. At certain combo milestones you will receive a lucid block which, when matched, will clear the puzzle board and place all new colored blocks down.
While it does provide a neat twist on the matching puzzle game, it just does not have enough content to make it feel worthwhile. The game does not develop and grow at all. You can get the gist of the game in a few minutes and after that it is just the same thing over and over. There aren't even different modes of gameplay like challenge maps, endless mode, or anything of that sort. There are 55 levels and once you beat them then the game is over.
The interface is extremely clunky too. There is a profile manager but it is really not implemented well. Once you load the game there is a "Start" button and a "Continue" button. Start will restart all your progress and send you back to the first level. Continue will let you start from the last level. It's really confusing and if you accidentally press Start then all your progress will be reset and there's no way to retrieve it. Also, there is no level select screen so either you start from level 1 or you continue from your current level.
If you're looking for a really simple and easy game then maybe you'll enjoy this. But as far as the core gameplay goes, it leaves a lot to be desired and doesn't ever reach a point of satisfaction.

Story/Presentation: (N/A)
+ No story, just a puzzle game.

Graphics: 3/5
+ While the graphics themselves aren't bad, there are still technical issues. First of all, there is only one resolution available and it's really low. For this day and age it really is not hard to implement a resolution option, but this game gives you no choice at all. You CAN choose to play it in full screen or windowed mode, but the kicker is that every time you launch the game it defaults to full screen. Meaning that it won't save your preference and if you want to play it in windowed (which feels better) then you will have to click that option every time you launch the game. It feels really unprofessional to have to put up with these problems.

Value: 2.5/5
+ The game is $5 and honestly that's about as much as it's worth. It has some problems and it doesn't really offer anything incredibly new or lasting as far as matching puzzle games go. It has one interesting mechanic but it never develops that idea throughout the game. I stuck with it and played through all 55 levels and it took me 9 hours. But that's mostly because the final 5 levels are really tedious and don't give the player much of a chance. You can pick up everything you want to know from within the first half hour of game time, though. Everything beyond that just depends on how committed you are to keep playing to reach the last level.
If it's something that really interests you and you're just looking for a quick, simple time waster then maybe it will fit your needs. But if you're looking for anything substantial then you can pass on this game.
