About this game

At first glance - another arkanoid, which are many, but in fact - a much more interesting game.

The overall gameplay is similar to hundreds and hundreds of games in this direction: there is a ball, a moving platform and blocks in the upper part of the screen, the ball is repelled from the platform, hitting the blocks, and must land on it in order not to fall outside the screen; when a ball enters the block, it is destroyed, sometimes giving a useful or harmful bonus.

However, the charm and singularity of EnigmaThe fact is that after collecting a certain number of points on several levels, it allows you to play five interesting mini-games, each of which is, in fact, a completely separate game, not connected in any way and not similar to the “main” subgenre of the game. It is in this originality that the main value of this little-known thing lies.
