is an action/word game in which you rack up letters, avoid hazards, and race to complete your word list before the time runs out.
Use the arrow keys to maneuver the ball along perilous platforms to build the nine required words. The ball collects the letters it rolls over and adds them to the Letter Rack. When the letters in the Rack spell one of the nine words, they are removed.
If you fall off a puzzle, it costs you a life. Land on a spring-loaded square, and it will throw your ball from one to three spaces in the direction they are pointing. Teleporter squares bridge the gaps and will take you to another teleporter of the same color. And of course, there are power-ups such as double word score, triple word score, extra life, and extra time. There is also a bonus word that you have to figure out based on the clue you're given at the beginning of the puzzle.
Once you've a completed puzzle, go back and try to get a better score. High scores will be posted on the Zero Entertainment's Web site so you can see how you compare with other AlphaNatix players worldwide.
The Urban Legends Edition features puzzles based on those shocking, but true, stories we all love to tell. Have you heard about the pet dog that was really a sewer rat? Have you been warned about kidney thieves? Did you get the $650 cookie recipe?
