It really gets your mind working in a different way, and as such makes Enigmo 2 the worthwhile sequel. Having to consider more than is immediately apparent when approaching a level is a definite step up in the scope and challenge of the puzzles. So, Enigmo 2 hasn’t forgotten its roots, but what of the brave step into the third dimension? This clever interplay and the consistently inventive physics-based puzzle-solving remain as compelling as they were in the original. Levels grow to feature combinations of the three elements, with one being used to activate a vital switch for another. Lasers, as you might expect, can be diverted through the use of mirrors, while plasma particles require the careful positioning of mini-black holes, the gravitational pull of which alters the particles’ trajectory. In addition to water droplets, Enigmo 2 introduces lasers and plasma particles. Each can be angled by touching a surrounding indicator and dragging in the desired direction. These objects vary in bounciness, with some effectively sending the droplets hurtling off in a new direction while others take the pace out of them and filter them through like a funnel. You do this by sliding a preset inventory of objects into the level, aligning them so that the droplets ricochet in the desired direction. The goal remains to direct a stream of water droplets (though they act more like ball bearings) into a receptacle, which is usually located in a fairly awkward position at the opposite end of the level. Think of cinema: both the Matrix and Pirates of the Caribbean trilogies got it wrong, adding a whole heap of new stuff to the sequels while forgetting what made the originals such fun.Ĭonversely, the reason The Empire Strikes Back is regarded by many as the definitive Star Wars episode is because it took what was successful about the original and chose very carefully where to expand and evolve.Įnigmo 2 takes an ambitious step forward from the award-winning original, staying faithful to the spirit and style of the original in the transition to 3D. In any media, expanding a simple, tightly honed experience into ambitious new territories is a risky business.
