Creator: RFI.
Genre: Puzzler.
Description: Make the bars go through the bottom gap whitout collading with the leftover bars.

Rating: 75%.

Review: This game is (as all RFI's productions) strange. As many games, you will be taken to a
menu where you choose between "Exit" and "Game" after the intro. When you press "Game", you will be taken to a bigger menu, where you can choose between "How To Play", which explains the game basics, "Music", where you choose between 2 different songs (I prefer B as it isn't so noisy) or no music at all, and finally, "Start", which takes you to the game itself.
The game is really complicated. You will be given a bar, which you have to direct to the bottom
gap for points. The main problem is that the left-right controls are reversed, so you should
try playing with your keyboard in a different angle (it may help begginers who don't get the
controls). If you fail to get the bar through the bottom gap because it collided with the walls
or the floor, then the bar will stay in the place where the action happened. After that, you will
receive another bar. If a bar collides with another, you will lose the game, and you'll be taken
to a new menu ("Restart" and "Main Menu"). Every now and then, you will receive a "Bomb", which is controlled with the mouse buttons (the controls are also reversed, so left is right, and right is left). If you can make the bomb touch a leftover bar, both will dissapear.
This arcade puzzler is really complicated. Many will find the controls very hard to catch, and
will delete the game in short time. But others may find them easy. You should try the game to
see if you like it or no.

Strong points:
-The music is very catchy.
-The gameplay is unique and bring a hard challenge.

Weak points:
-Very hard for begginers.
