The main objective in this 30 level puzzle game called Brick Over Islands, is to push crates together so they form the pattern which is shown in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. On some levels the crates are scattered over different islands and you must still push them from one island to another. Also, there is no jumping from island to island and you can't swim. You are only allowed 3 restarts for the level and then the game ends. To make it more interesting you must complete each level in a certain amount of time, depending upon which puzzle you are solving. For scoring information and tips please see the authors documentation which is in English and Finnish.

Brick Over Islands is a really slick game. The screen shots don't show you the palm trees swaying in the wind or the movement of the ocean waters. The music is something you might hear on a tropical island paradise and the sound effects are excellent also. The top 20 high scores are saved. You can edit Setup.ini to set the game to run in windowed or full screen mode. The only drawback to this game is, You cannot start a game at a previouly completed level. You must start each game from the very beginning.
