RuniX is a tile matching game, but with a twist! Of course, the tiles must be the same design in order to match them and remove them from the game. However, there must also be a clear path between the tiles. The definition of a clear path is: you must be able to draw a line between the two tiles that have no more than two bends in it. The game will show you the path choosen after a valid match -- it won't take long to get the hang of it!
RuniX includes several variations on the basic game as well as many different and lovely sets of runes. Changing to a new game variant will alter the rules of the game. Changing to a new tile set will alter the difficulty of matching the runes. The combination of game world and rune set makes for dozens of different combinations. We also have an Easy - Average - Hard preference selection to make the game even more flexible!
RuniX provides both Windowed & Full Screen display modes, and an Aqua interface featuring the "Chrome" theme for the game skin. RuniX includes full Mac Help, including strategy tips and a description of the rules of the game. The game also includes an animated dock icon.
