Clockwiser
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clockwiser is a computer game for the Amiga, developed by Team Hoi and published by Rasputin Software.
Clockwiser is a puzzle game with 80 levels. The levels consist of various arrangements of blocks. Each level is divided into two sections, an active one on the left and a static one on the right. The player's task is to make the section on the left look exactly like the one on the right.
What makes the game challenging is that the player cannot move individual blocks directly. Instead, the player can select a rectangle-shaped group of blocks and move them along the rectangle's edge, either clockwise or counterclockwise. The blocks are subject to gravity, so moving a block on top of empty space makes it fall down. On later levels, various other objects come into play, such as metal blocks that can't be moved, teleporters, and bombs which destroy blocks they fall on.
One level in the game (called What happened, Deputy Dawg?) is the easiest level ever in a computer game. As soon as the level starts, it is completed. This level is impossible to lose.
It was later ported to DOS.
