The Glowbos are a peaceful race who live in a black hole called Oog and survive on light sucked into the black hole from all different dimensions. But now all the light is being consumed by the greedy space monster named Bhobail and the Glowbos are starving to death! With the help of a friendly race called Bulboids, as well as a variety of tools such including Mirrors, T-Junctions and the precious Prisms themselves, you must manipulate light to save the Glowbos from extinction.

5 out of 5 stars Prism is fun and challenging   April 6, 2008

I was originally introduced to Aargon on my palm. This seemed like an alternative for the DS for my kids. And it is a reasonable facsimile. They enjoy it.

This game really makes you think and that's what I like most about it. I have seen Jr. High students play this on computers at school as a problem solving activity and thought it would be fun to have it for the kids (and me). I was not disappointed


4 out of 5 stars A fun and challenging puzzle game for the puzzle enthusiast.   January 7, 2008

Prizm is a great little find for those of you who enjoy a puzzle game. Prizm features simple mechanics with a load of great content. There are tons of puzzles for the player to work through, and you'll definitely be finding yourself spending a lot of time on the last set of puzzles toward the end.

I originally bought it on sale for $9.99, but I'd still say it's worth the full retail price.



4 out of 5 stars Cool puzzler! If you like Tetris or Battleship, you'll like this!   December 16, 2007

The box cover for Prism makes it seem too much for kids but it is actually a fun brain teaser for any age. You have to line up mirrors, light beam splitters and colored filters to direct a ray of light at a colored target set in a maze. For variety, there are several different playing modes (casual puzzling, timed, hyper, etc) but for me, the puzzles are more fun to contemplate rather than than race to solve. I didn't give it 5 stars because it is not shoot em up, Super Mario-esque fun, it is more like solving a visual soduku. I'd also give it a higher score if it used different pieces and "worlds" rather than just increasing complexity on an evolving playing field. Bottom line: The satisfaction comes from solving the brain teasers not from an adrenaline rush.
