Eyes First - Tile Slide

Microsoft has started developing Windows 10 compatible eye tracker technologies in order to help folks that can no longer make use of their hands in order to control Windows 10 with a mouse or keyboard. In order to test out the efficiency of these eye trackers, several games were developed where the main way of playing is through the use of such devices. This would be the case of Eyes First - Tile Slide, a simplistic tile sliding game that can be controlled via Windows 10 compatible eye trackers, mouse, keyboard or touch.

Eyes First - Tile Slide is a game with four puzzle boards of increasing difficulty where you may choose from a 3, 8, 15 or 24 board, each with the corresponding number of sliding tiles plus one empty space.  The goal of the game is to unscramble the puzzle board by getting all the tiles back in order, from right to left. Given that the game gets exponentiallymore difficult the more tiles are involved, you can use the pause button to pause the game and study the board by temporarily locking down all tiles, and then just press "Play" to resume the game when you've made up your mind.

While admittedly Eyes First - Tile Slide  may not be innovative at all as far as tile slider games are concerned, the fact that it can be controlled in a wide variety of way (including eye trackers) is what sets it apart from other similar games. Thankfully, if you love the game's visuals but don't own any eye trackers, you can simply switch to using your mouse, keyboard or the touch.

Eyes First - Tile Slide, along with all the other games from the same developer are not here for entertainment, and rather for the betterment of technology that could aid those in need, but you cannot deny that a tile slider is always stimulating nonetheless.
