Puzzles and board games can at times be just as exciting as RPGs with their multi-level setting and required strategies to move on to the next round. Here are some of the most popular:
Polar Panic
Seeing its layout, the game would somehow remind you of Bomberman. In Polar Panic, however, you play the role of a polar bear who will be breaking, pushing, and sliding snow and ice blocks that may serve as obstacles to enemies. Some of the blocks can be used to destroy the enemies; others have dynamite that create light after the explosion. The snow and ice blocks are pushed to the side to create a path to the exit, which is the main goal in the Story Mode. The time pressure will have you going through the maze-like levels in sheer panic. What adds more to the excitement of playing Polar Panic are the trappers. They throw flames at you and use dynamite, guns, amd freeze beams. You also have to rescue cubs and destroy ice sculptres to get more lives. The Story Mode includes up to 50 maze-like levels. The Survivor Mode will have you playing against the trappers almost endlessly.
Diner Dash
Diner Dash will have you managing your own restaurant, from securing seats for customers to serving their food. You take the role of Flo, a stockbroker who ventured into diner business. She has to beat the clock and earn the required amount after every level. The better service you can provide to customers, the more money you can earn before the clock hits zero. Flo can easily move around the restaurant and serve customers by giving them the menu, taking their orders, getting their check, and cleaning their table, so another set of customers can take their seats. As Flo moves on to another level, service to customers only gets more challenging.
Both these games require strategies to beat the clock and accomplish the task on time.
