The Good
Generally speaking, it's one of those cute one-screen Windows 3.1 games. I liked the little purple guy who stands at the top of the box, tapping his foot, waiting for you to make your move. The sounds are decent, but not earth-shattering. It has a good array of difficulty levels, which can be adjusted depending on how "literate" you may be feeling from one day to the next.
The Bad
Not much....a'lot more could've been done, but as I previously mentioned, it's just a cute little game. Remember, this game was developed and published by two different RUSSIAN companies, so you have to cut them a little slack. It's kind of funny, when you press the exit icon, a window pops up asking, "Do you want to Finish?"......not "Do you want to exit?" A little language goof-up, there.
The Bottom Line
For a cheap, simplistic game to help pass some free time, this one might be worth a go.
