Mental IQ Plus Demo

As you might be aware already, the brain needs exercise as well, otherwise it loses some of its capacity to deal with tough situations. By constantly keeping it in shape, you can remain at your peak and avoid problems later on, especially when it comes to memory and the like. Not only that, but you can also make it all a game and practice while having fun at the same time.

Mental IQ Plus takes no prisoners when it comes to the puzzle difficulty and it can really make you ponder for a long time at some of the situations you have to deal with. Even if the game is just a Sokoban clone with a few different ideas thrown into the mix, the gameplay is fun and it keeps you on edge at all times, although it’s a different kind of tension than you would get in Call of Duty.

The main idea is to move a few gems across the map and get them into the designated spots, without losing them along the way. The map is formed out of multiple squares and it is usually quite restrictive, which means that there’s always the possibility to get stuck, or to push the gem into a corner and be unable to recover it. Thus, the restart button can take a lot of punishment along the way, since trial and error is the only way to go sometimes.

Beside the gems, there are also some other items you stumble along the way, all of which have something to add to the experience. Cubes don’t do an awful lot, but they block the way and you must carefully place them in order to avoid getting stuck. Teleporters get you from one plane to the other, but the corresponding square needs to be free in order to be able to use them.

Hence, everything seems to be out there to make your life more difficult, and it is. The satisfaction you get after you figure out how to beat a level is worth the stress, on the other hand, especially in the case of the tougher ones. Since the graphics are very basic and there’s not much else to keep you company, the challenge is everything you’ve got anyway.

Mental IQ Plus is a tad too basic to be considered a real video game, but the puzzles should be just enough to keep you pondering for a while. Hence, if you need something to take your mind off things, this can very well be the answer.
