FreeFold - Year Of The Snake
Free GameAbout FreeFold - Year Of The Snake
FreeFold - Year Of The Snake is a new skin for the FreeFold brain teaser, the sole purpose of which is to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Numbers have been replaced by the Chinese symbols for the five elements (0=Water, 1=Fire, 2=Metal, 3=Wood, 4=Earth), bur for all intents and purposes, this is the same game!
The objective is to "fold" squares onto each other until left with only one, showing the Chinese character for "Water", in the target location (marked in red). The game has a single rule: a square displaying the character for one element can only be folded onto another square showing the character for the next element in the Chinese mystical "control cycle" (Water controls Fire, Fire controls Metal, Metal controls Wood, Wood controls Earth and Earth controls Water). To help you identify possible moves, square edges are marked: folding is only possible along a dotted line.The target location cannot be folded as this would obviously prevent you from reaching a solution.
Because life is short and players always in a hurry, you will likely make the occasional unwise move (unwise as in "Fool, this is a dead end!"). If this happens: do not panic. The developer, being himself notoriously clumsy, has included the option to backtrack (i.e. to sequentially unfold the puzzle). To help you identify your previous move(s), the last vacated square is displayed as a ghost, marked with a red arrow pointing into the direction of the corresponding backtrack move. Of course, unfolding is a bit of a cheat, so serious players should refrain from using this option.
It should go without saying, but the way you fold (or unfold) a square onto another is by sliding your finger from the former to the latter (no kidding).
When you complete a game of FreeFold, you will be presented with your result, in the form of the number of backtrack moves that were used and the time it took you to solve the puzzle.
Notes:
- The characters use the "Scrapbook Chinese" font by Helena Jole. You can download it for free from www.fontspace.com
- The somewhat basic sound effects are from the Sound Jay library. They are also free to use and available from their website (www.soundjay.com).
- The screenshots show an example puzzle being solved: look at them if you don't understand what you're expected to do!
- So far, FreeFold was successfully tested on:
Smartphones: Samsung Galaxy S, S2 and S3, Google Nexus 4
Tablets: Google Nexus 7
Enjoy!
