Maybe it's my competetitive nature that draws me to

puzzles in general, but you'd have to admit the

thought of being the only one able to solve a

seemingly unsolvable puzzle would stroke your ego

the right way. And seriously, who doesn't want to

have the bragging rights on anything?

Puzzle games like mEo's Slider PSP, is a common

element in computer games. They require some serious

thought, strategy and above all, logic. All of that

you'll need, if you want to go far in this game.

First off, I would like to commend mEo for a

wonderfully written How-to in the Read Me file. I

know most people hardly give that little text file a

peep, and that's exactly why it's more impressive.

He actually took time in writing it. It even comes

with detailed diagrams, on not only how to move

panels around, but as well as possible scenarios you

might encounter within the game.

HOnestly, I am quite in a fix whether it's much

better to have levels for the puzzles, instead of

you choosing how many rows and columns you want. I

like the impending challenge a level-by-level

gameplay brings on the table, but I also like the

flexibility of being able to customize your puzzle.

And while on the topic of customization, I'd have to

applaude the fact that, with the image generator

included, you can give the game your own touch. And

if that isn't enough, the source code for the game

is also included.

But, just because the game is good as it is right

now, it doesn't mean that there are no room left for

improvements. Personally, in the future I would like

to see a time trial mode for the game, just to have

some variety. Also, I suggest putting in something

that would count the number of moves the player made

in order to complete the puzzle. Not only will this

increase the intensity of the game, but a player can

keep track of his progress in the game. This feature

could also lead to a scoring system, in the future.

To close, I truly had a wonderful time with this

game. If I had all day, I would sit down with the

PSP and play this game the whole time. I'd keep an

eye on this game's future developments. Kudos to

mEo!
