Clayside - Great graphics, good variety and clever level design
posted on Mar 2, 2008
Build the house of your dreams! Clayside is a spectacular action puzzler which is simple to play but will keep you in suspense. You’ll barge up against many puzzles, and each puzzle you solve will bring you a little closer to the house of your dreams. So, enjoy it!
As this game does not offer us a help file, here, let’s learn something about the game. When launching this game, your screen lights up with color and detail. You can see a city in which the game takes place. When it comes to the gameplay, your task is solving the puzzles to build your house.
How to solve the puzzles? When it comes to the gameplay, you’ll find that it’s a matching-three game. And a few basic rules will come to mind. For example, you either drag rows and columns of objects, or swap adjacent items, until you create a match. I should tell you that you’re not asked to eliminate the objects such as banana, ball, and so on, but to clear away a stack of blocks, which are beside or beneath them (Creating matches next to them will eliminate the blocks).
As you play, you're occasionally given the opportunity to choose between two new power-ups. Once you make your selection, the item will begin appearing at random. To make full use of these power-ups is an important way to complete the leve.
The install file is 12.3MB. The download speed is determined by the means link to internet - Modem (56K); 38 min ISDN: 17 min DSL: 2 min. It is a 100% clean program and the installation is easy and starightforward.
When I was playing this game, it occupied 17,676KB RAM – much less to affect other programs normal working. My computers operation system is Windows XP, which supports this game well. And RAM is 512MB, quite enough to meet its requirement.
Clayside is a great game, but it's not very user intuitive. When it comes to power-ups used or blocks busted. I've been playing for many levels and I still don't know what those mean or how to use them. If there could have a detailed help file, I’m sure this game, like Zuma, would be one of the most popular casual games.
