Snood is a fun puzzle game that tests your intellect rather than your reflexes. Your goal is to free all the trapped Snoods by launching other Snoods at them. If you connect three or more Snoods, they will transport away. If that leaves any Snoods not connected to the top of the playfield, they will fall to safety. Don't take too long, though. Every Snood you launch increases the Danger Level. When the gauge fills up, the Snoods will shift downward. If the Snoods reach you, the game is over.Registered users can even design custom difficulty settings and puzzles. Each difficulty level maintains its own high-score list and statistics.Special note for parents: Snood is a good game for children. The game is nonviolent and nonconfrontational, and children can play at their own pace. It develops several basic skills, including matching, calculation of angles, simple strategic assessment, and problem solving. It does not require reading, and the controls are very simple. The Child difficulty level is easy enough for young children to enjoy (ages two to three). Conversely, Snood is fun for older players as well.Requires DirectX.
