Looking for an excellent way to burn through your lunch hour, all week? Good. Then welcome to the world of probably Japanese puzzle flash games (an assumption on the bases that most things gamey originate on said Isles). Dwarf Complete comes from the same folk who produced the Grow series of flash games. So you are guaranteed a certain level of quality and artistry that do show themselves here. Dwarf however plays differently to the Grow games. Somehow, loosely based on NC Soft's Lineage II (though in what way is anybodies guess), You have to collect a set of 40 items to, well... finish. Thats it. But, to get said items you will have to figure your way around an array of horribly simple puzzles. So simple you will easily spend thirty minutes over-thinking everything, before a friend pops his head over and then points at the completely obvious thingamajig you didn't think had anything to do with this bit, but it clearly does. Which then lets you get to the next sublimely 'easy' conundrum. This scenario is repeated with a wide array of different puzzles, all varied enough to ensure it never gets old. Controls are easy; up, down, left, right and 'click'. Dwarf is completely intuitive (once you have your head around the first puzzle at least, and you know where to be thinking). There are no instructions, or non in English at least. But you don't need them. Just start. When you inevitably get hassled by 'The Man', Dwarf still has your back, with and inbuilt autosave feature. Lovely, all this quality and forethought and its all free. A great way to waste an afternoon at work with your colleagues (you will need them). And, if you boss gets all bossy, well - your team building aren't you! Play Dwarf Complete
