Version

Artfully crafted by a New Zealand developer, Fitznik
is an unusually clever puzzle game that doesn't
require arcade reflexes to play. Your goal is to guide
an adventurous wolf-like creature named Fitz to
collect all the gems from an ancient lost city. Fitz
has no weapons, so you have to use your wits and logic
to outsmart the fireball-spitting cobras and hungry
spiders that inhabit the game world. Much of the game
involves sliding boulders around, similar to Sokoban,
but Fitznik takes this type of gameplay in a whole new
direction. Rather than just sliding the boulders to
reach certain locations, Fitz uses the boulders to
block cobras' fireballs, herd and trap spiders (which
then causes the spiders and adjacent boulders to
explode), build bridges, and more. The fun of the
game comes from its challenge and sense of discovery.
Each of the 63 puzzles builds on skills you develop on
earlier levels, so once you think you've learned all
the tricks, you're constantly presented with a new
twist. For instance, Level 1 shows you how to use
boulders to block cobras from shooting Fitz. Level 2
then teaches you how trap spiders. As you progress
through the levels, you learn how to combine various
skills to solve more and more intricately designed
puzzles. You'll be amazed at how Fitznik's simple
design yields such a wide variety of stimulating
gameplay possibilities. Fitznik is a true gem in the
world of logic puzzles. Unlike many common puzzle
games that just have colored blocks on a grid, Fitznik
draws you in with its depth of character and vivid
animation. Fitznik has no boring 3D movies, doesn't
require 3D hardware, and doesn't involve inflicting
violence on other people. It's the kind of game that
simply strives to immerse you in the purely mental
experience of solving creative, interesting puzzles
unlike any you've ever seen. Fitznik is a game that's
very easy to learn, yet it's a real challenge to
master. Download the demo and try out the first 10
