The one major playability gripe I have about the game is that there is no hint system. Most every other casual game will give you a hint (at the cost of some points or something). There are some puzzles that are mind- numbingly difficult that I need a hint to continue on.
Once you get familiar enough with the puzzles, then you can challenge yourself by playing the other modes. The Timed mode gives you a certain amount of time to finish each puzzle, which adds some pressure to the mix. The Seven Steps mode can be very difficult, and you’ll find yourself planning your moves out like Kasparov. You can move and flip each piece as much as you want, but it counts as one of your moves once you actually MOVE the piece.
If you have another DS in the house (who doesn’t, right?) then you can flaunt your intellectual superiority by challenging your significant other in Versus mode. Like most other DS multiplayer games, you only need one game cartridge: the other unit will simply download the game wirelessly. This mode can be surprisingly fun, especially when you figure out alot of the puzzles mysteries.
Despite its lack of graphical or auditory prowess, Neves is an addictive puzzle game that’s easy to pick up and play. You can play for as little or as long as you want, so it’s perfect way to fill the void when you’re stuck in line somewhere. If you like spacial puzzles, then Neves by Yukes is worth a look.
