Arena

_Arena_ is a puzzle game with strong action elements. In each of the about
hundred levels, the player controls a space ship in a top-down perspective and
needs to arrange diamonds in a certain order. Similar to Atomix, once pushed,
those diamonds keep going until they meet an obstacle like a wall or a
teleporter. Some of the obstacles can be interacted with. This means the
player needs to plan ahead in order to avoid getting into an unwinnable
situation. However, the level can be restarted up to three times without
repercussions.

The action part comes into place with various enemies which roam around the
screen. It should be avoided to touch them as they can harm the player’s life
energy or even relocate him to a former level. These enemies can be shot with
the ship’s weapon, but sometimes they are required to solve the puzzle. There
are also power-ups to pick up, e.g. a shield.
