Interlogic


Get Intrelogic installed on your system.
Interlogic is a wonderful game that is very enjoyable and gets you to apply some logic also.The idea is very old and simple;you have to collect balls of same colour.
The method of the movement of the bug and the maze that you get into makes this game interesting.The bug can be moved only in four regular directions.So you have to keep in mind the peripheral spaces to combine similar coloured balls.Also keep in mind that you can not move two balls at a time.
Do not be in a hurry.Just apply some logic before moving.
Download Interlogic.
