Fling is a puzzle game where the idea is that you roll – or ‘fling’—furry little creatures into each other to clear off a board . Think bocce meets RemoveEm.
The easy levels are, well, easy. But as you progress the games gets more and more difficult. After a while, you do start to notice certain patterns and techniques that you can use in your repertoire that you think you’ve mastered the game. But with so many different moves and only 1 or 2 solutions to a screen, something new seems to always be required in order to move on to the next level.
The game progresses at just the right rate to keep the replay value high, and keeps your puzzle solving skills on edge.
Fling is fun and addictive. I highly recommend it.
