Each billiard - their own unique atmosphere. Not enough, perhaps, only spectators and noise inherent in the clubs for a complete sense of reality, even by opponents enough with a vengeance.

3D CEDice

3D CEDice version for Pocket PC


A set of puzzles. And, very cleverly designed for fans of Tetris, Jawbraker and good old dice game. So, you have a field littered with the dice. Need to remove from the board dice with the same number, building them next to each other. On the field can be fixed dice, the dice may be an odd number - in a word, the obstacles abound. The more complex level, the more difficult to find a winning combination of movement of the dice in the field. Despite the fact that the principles of the game familiar to itch in the stylus, a variety gave her a different hue. In fairness, it should also say that the developers - the company RU0 Games - really well thought through all the stages. Moreover, the game is divided into 2 modes: vertical and horizontal. In the vertical you move the bones by dropping them on top and rolling in the horizontal direction. In the horizontal as you move only one dice, it is you push all the others, building a necessary combination.
Three interchangeable type of navigation does not allow even the slightest possibility of losing control of the game: you can move the dice a joystick, use the arrows on the screen and move immediately to appoint a stylus. In addition, the game is equipped with a host of other "gadgets". You can configure the camera for convenience - and the approximate distance field, change the angle of view, rotate it around its axis. Well, maybe it will help you think? Not only will you not be distracted by thoughts and not worry for your Pocket PC, the developers have brought to the game box, even the status of the battery.

Leaving aside all these "convenience", in my opinion, not very necessary in the game, puzzles themselves can really appreciate how interesting. Good educational show helps you quickly master the game. Our game rating improves the ability to synchronize with the server results - you can compare your achievements with other players and download the table leaders currently on the PDA. Make a note your name in the tables of 3D CEDice.

Galaga

Version of Galaga for Pocket PC



... They're coming! Of course, they want to seize the land. And you (estestvenno!) were all alone against a whole Orava aliens. Now and twisted.Vooon they flew a flock. Your task - to destroy all enemy ships. The enemy one strategy - they take off the chain, make a circle around the screen and arranged in a row. With each level of their more, and they are getting closer. Once the series are constructed, they gradually begin to descend. If at least one of their ships will reach your "red" zone - you lose. You can move your ship left and right joystick for firing responsible joystick button "up" (incidentally, found it "at random", unfortunately, again, problems with help files).
Enemy ships. They differ by type. Blue - elitist, the protective layer of the most robust and the most crushing shots. If you hit them, shield partially destroyed, and they go into the category of the Yellow facing lower rank. And finally, the Reds - a light aircraft that are destroyed in one hit. When injected into the Yellow, the protective layer is destroyed completely, and they also go into the category of Red.

Tips: Choose a place close to the departure of enemy ships and shoot continuously. Because they are flying chain, will destroy a large number of them. Do not forget to dodge enemy shots - you have a protective layer on all three shots. Playing an old, but still played. Sometimes hampered by the fact that the shots are on indefinite scheme ... May be interrupted at the most inopportune moment. The same "click" misfiring, which makes it clear that this was not unknown to all final, also referred to as "kirdyk.

Renju. She Gomoku. She's "Five-in-series." Numerous names, small variations in the rules, but all the same great game. Your job - first to build a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row of five chips, and to actively interfere with the same set as your opponent.
Developers from PDAMedia made it fairly "simple but tasteful." Pretty "soft" schedule, does not distract from the game menu and funny sounds - all together creates a good impression. Smile, even at a loss, in response to the Homeric laughter emanating when winning the CCP. You can also play with your friends on your PDA. When playing with the "machine", you can choose the difficulty level. By the way, pretty good game, so focus.

Ring Master

Version of the Ring Master for Pocket PC


Puzzle of Pyva.net. The site developer game called "the greatest puzzle since the Rubik's Cube." Indeed, this thing is very curious, and probably lovers of puzzles. Three intersecting rings with numbers. Each ring is moving independently of the other so that the rotating ring, you can move the numbers. Your goal - to place numbers in order: 1 and 2 in the top row, then the second row 3-5, below - 6-9, and finally - 10, 11 and 12 in the bottom row (see picture).
The interface is simple and nezateyliv, you can play as a stylus or a joystick. Note: Pressing the "Down" from the joystick functions as Undo. In addition, the program's website has several problems. Some of them are also in the picture: all these provisions can be obtained with an interval of 10 moves. Try it! In the demo version of the initial combination is always the same. Also, not paying, you lose the opportunity to play for a while.I'd like to hope that in future the toy will be supplied with new challenges and additional properties.
