Enigmo 2 is a 3D puzzle game where you construct mechanisms to direct lasers, plasma, and water to toggle switches, deactivate force-fields, and eventually get them to their final destination. The original Enigmo was the most unique game that Pangea Software ever created, and Enigmo 2 takes the concept to a whole new dimension with much more complex environments and all-new devices.
In addition to the 50 levels that come with Enigmo, there is also a built-in level editor which allows you to create your own games that you can share with friends or post on the web for the world to
What's New
Version 1.2:
Fixed some Mac OS 10.6 issues and tweaked code for newer Xcode.
Cool game! I like the idea..
It doesn't really thrill me to keep playing it for hours, so I haven't purchased a full version yet - but from time to time it's nice to have a break for a few minutes collecting waterdrops and virtual laser beams in outer space :-)
However, you will probably spend most of your time watching the camera spin and twist in nauseatingly confusing directions, as the 3D controls are pretty much the exact opposite of all controls used in any other 3D game ever.
I really liked Engimo 1 and would recommend it, but sadly Engimo 2 just is too painful and awkward to use because of the new 3D interface... When you eventually see how to solve the puzzle and know where to put the piece, but then have to do battle with the interface to actually place the piece, then the puzzle just becomes annoying rather than fun.
This isn't "Enigmo", it's "Enigmo 2". The latter adds the 3rd dimension to the gameplay, and not just the look. I have only tried the demos of both, but I think Enigmo 2 seems harder to control due to that 3rd dimension. Rotating the view is particularly tricky. I often end up spinning out of control and then have to reset the view and start over. Also, rotating objects is problematic. Often I end up unselecting the object by mistake, so I have to select it again. Also, if you have set the option to show all axes rotation controls, then moving an object sometimes results in an unintended rotation. I find myself hitting the reset rotation and view buttons more than I'd like and so control of the game can be frustrating. Still, it seems like a fun game. If I were to buy one, though, I think I'd buy Enigmo 1 - the concept and game play are similar, but the 2d-restricted controls are less frustrating.

This vertsion is $30. Is this game worth $30? Maybe not, I'd pay $20, but not $30!

Seems like griping over a pittance. And this game is significantly more sophisticated than the original.

3-D view is hard to handle.
As before, a very unique game. Version 2 lacks the life of the original version. Lasers were a weak substitute for lava.
