Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
18 March 2010 – Puzzle fanatics better get their stylus ready, as Rooms: The Main Building launches on Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi on 21 May 2010. Packed with over 100 challenging and exciting puzzles, Rooms: The Main Building is designed to test the most ingenious minds.
Set in a dark and mysterious house called ‘Rooms Mansion’, the game plunges you into a virtual world based around 100 challenging sliding puzzles with a twist. In each room or level, you must think carefully and strategically to safely navigate your character to the room’s exit by sliding sections of the room, the same way as a slide puzzle. Your character can walk from tile to tile, but remember that only the tile that your character is standing in can be moved.
