Weird and wonderful
Challenging game play, immersive soundtrack and rich graphics — who could ask for more from a game? Especially a free and open source game.
Krank is almost impossible to describe because there is nothing to really compare it to. You use your cursor to nudge balls so they connect with each other and create strings. Once they’re properly aligned, they disappear.
It’s not as easy as it sounds, though, because you’ve got three balls following your cursor wherever you go, and the slow-motion physics are not of this world. Plus, the strings are all too easily broken. In fact, with all these challenges, one thriftmac tester declared the game to be “not my cup of tea.” And it should be pointed out that some things about the game — for example, transitions from one level to the next — seem unfinished.
Despite its flaws, though, Krank is a weirdly wonderful game — and you won’t regret trying it.
