Anne Reviews - Spooky Spirits
Posted by Anne Scotch Guard Ross, 59 days ago

Becky and Tim are a pretty luckless pair.  Finding their jobs in danger after they accidentally ‘lost’ half a million ghost (that is what I call a bad day at work).  This hapless pair has to go out on to the streets to try and recapture escapee spooks and save their jobs as the ghost buster like wardens of the Spirit World.

All of us have had bad days at work, those moments when you wish the ground would just open up and swallow you, but even I would be hard pushed to have such a monumentally disastrous day as these two.  Now you have to help them recapture mischievous spooks and spirits in this addictive Tetris-style puzzle game.  Follow Becky and Tim through different haunted locations in their attempt to round up the renegade ghouls in Panic, Puzzle or Eternity game modes.

Primarily the game involves dropping coloured blocks into a container in order to clear away groups of blocks before any reach the top simple, but run out of room to drop more blocks and it’s "nice try sucker " back to the unemployment line for you. You must drop two blocks at a time, and there is no rotating them clockwise or counter-clockwise - they fall side by side, horizontally and that is that.

You can choose which two blocks at the top of the container you’d like to drop, by swapping around any of the six candidates with its neighbours on either side. You only have about ten seconds to do so in this fast-paced game or the two blocks currently selected will drop. Just visible above the six candidate blocks are the bottom halves of six others next in sequence. After each drop, two blocks from this second row will lower into place to fill in the gap.
