Rovio, the creators of the popular Angry Birds has released a new game, Amazing Alex, this past Friday. Is it that 'amazing'? We'll find out.

Index Part 2

In the free version of the game, 16 levels are unlocked. Full version is $1.01 CAD and the HD version is $3.05 CAD.

Level 1

In general, the levels were pretty easy, mostly guided with hints throughout. The purpose of the game is to get an object into its desired place. In this level, all you have to do is hit play as the soccer ball will fall down into the basket. Easy? Yeah.

Level 16, a little trickier

Here is level 16, the last level in the free version of the game. In this one, one must attempt to get the balloon through the arrow while capturing the stars. On the bottom are three boxes which you can arrange to help guide the balloon to its place. A little trickier, but does not take much to think of a solution.

Overall, it is an interesting game, but I don't believe I will purchase the full version to play further. These levels were quite frankly too easy for the average player, and lacks the 'oomph' to be casually addicted. This free version took no longer than 10 minutes to complete, and it wasn't that interesting. I was looking forward to a very addicting game similar to the finesse of Angry Birds.
