GridLinx
Read full descriptionHide full description
GridLinx is a "connect" game that demands careful but quick thought in placing tiles together to build the largest connected structures. The more tiles you connect together, the higher the score. Stay alert though, there is a time limit on each round. So if your not quick enough you'll run out of time. When you build a connected structure you are credited both with game points and with more play time. So look for every chance to link your tiles. As you climb higher in levels you will notice that later levels require higher scores to advance. You will also notice new challenges that will keep you on your toes. So, get in the zone and put your puzzle brains on blast!

Welcome, and join the battle by declaring war.... for no reason whatsoever. Play against your friends and family in two-player mode, where you each get to choose your arsenal of troops to take each other down! In the single-player campaign, you fight against an enemy AI whose only purpose is to destroy your castle. There are 20 fun-packed levels, each a little different than the one before. If one is too hard, just skip to the next one! Defend against the onslaught by sending out troops, but you don't get to choose your arsenal..... The fun doesn't stop there! You can play up to 8 players in tournament mode. Battle to the top of the bracket in individual battles, and see who will come out on top! With so many Pointless Wars happening, we hope you have fun battling your opponents for no reason! Good luck out there!
