********************************************


Trak4 is a challenging puzzle game for the iPhone and iPod Touch featuring 89 puzzles (thats just over a $0.01 a puzzle ;-0 ).

In Trak4, you are trying to beat the clock in matching the tile pattern on the right to the pattern on the left. Players earn points for the time remaining. If you match the pattern correctly, you gets another round. If the pattern doesn’t match the game is over. The twist is that you can only see the entire target pattern for the first few seconds of each round. After that the pattern is cloaked in darkness and you can only see the portion that appears underneath the moving spotlight.

If you get stuck, press the “Hint” button to get a quick peek at the target pattern.

Trak 4 is an extremely simple puzzle game. Players are shown a pattern for a brief amount of time in the top left corner made completely out of squares that are half white and half red. After the set time is up, the pattern is covered. A small viewing circle moves around the pattern, giving brief glimpses of small areas in case the player gets stuck. Hints can also be used to uncover the pattern again for a moment; however, completing a puzzle with no hints adds 500 points to the players score at the end of each round.

The amount of time you have to view the pattern, as well as the size and speed of the viewing circle, all depend on the level that a player chooses to compete at. Players have the option of playing at a hard, medium, or easy level. Players can also opt to solve the puzzle in 30, 60, or 90 seconds, depending on their skill range. High scores are reported locally only, and there is no music. The graphics are simple. Despite this, the puzzles are challenging and entertaining. There is certainly a good replay value; there are plenty of patterns to complete and difficulty settings to keep you entertained for a while!

Trak 4 is an excellent game, and it keeps your brain active! The hardest difficulty setting is quite challenging. For only 99cents, this game is a wonderful addition to your iPhone game collection!
