This is a decent puzzle with a simple concept, nice challenge, and excellent graphics. Try to rearrange all the colored circles in the right places. To do this, there are 4-circle positions, rotate the circles and switch positions.

Only download this if you are a die-hard puzzle game fan.

Gripple is a fun and challenging game. It is a puzzle game where there is 16 circles. 4 of each of the circles has a color (green, white, red, or yellow). They also have a number 1-4 for each pairing. Your goal is to first mix them up, then get them back into allignment (the way it was at the start). That means the first 4 have to be white, then the second 4 have to be green, the third 4 red, and the last 4 yellow. They also have to be in numerical order, from 1 to 4 going clockwise from 1-4. Once you have done this you have solved the puzzle. It is challenging and takes some getting use to but worth the effort when you win. You can click on a circle in the outer four pairings and it switches by rotating those 4 left or right. You can also rotate the 4 circles in the middle, which is the key trick in solving this puzzle. For anyone who loves puzzles this is a great game. It took me a few minutes just to get the colors right, but its a whole nother ball game when trying to get the numbers in place as well. Closest I could get was everything right but "1" number. To be blunt its very challenging for most. A true puzzle solver could handle this perhaps. Because the pieces have to be arranged in not just one way, but in "2" ways, it brings it to a whole new level of "puzzling". Not like the "rotate the puzzle pieces" games you have played before. The numbers give the puzzle a whole new dimension that should rattle anyone's brain. If you've got some spare time to kill and think you are up for the challenge or have what it takes to complete this puzzle, by all means take a stab at it. I know I had fun! It could take you minutes to hours, but all you have to do is keep rotating the pieces till they line up. There is plenty of places to rotate, 5 in all, the center one being key, and the main focal point, but by no means is it easy for the average person. If its too hard for you, one good part about the game is that you can simply try and just get the colors in order, that itself is an accomplishment. So its a good game for those who are beginning puzzlers, and the master puzzlers alike. I would sugguest this game to a friend, and try it again sometime when I feel lucky, or that I have the chance to best it again. It's hard!
