Solar flux is an incredible puzzle game. + The controls are as precise as they can get + Very clear and beautiful design + One of the best scoring systems + A lot of variety in the various challenges ; enough to prevent the game from feeling too repetitive

This game is addictive and fun if you like strategy type games, and its very nice visually too. I'd like to see more casual games like this or simillar, I'm enjoying it so far. It has a lot of levels each one a different challenge, please consider giving it a go, I did and I have enjoyed playing this little gem, I also found it Quiet relaxing too. It is a nice change from other more tedious and aggressive type games.

Relaxing but frustrating puzzle game. Each level is a puzzle you have to figure out, then you have to use mouse clicking skills to actually complete the puzzle. I like the puzzle solving aspect, but I find the skill side a bit frustrating because your timing and clicking often has to be perfect, or you have to do it again, and again, and again... This can get a little tiresome if you're stuck on a particular level. Nice relaxing music though, and it looks pretty. Recommended if you like exercising your brain and don't mind honing the mouse skills to go with it.

I completed all of the Solar Flux puzzles in just under 3 hours. If you are into breaking records and completeing all acheivements then you will be playing much longer. I would recommend buying this game if... A) You like puzzle games. B) You like outer space. C) If it is on sale for cheap. Pros - Creates a nice atmosphere of suns, planets, etc - Gameplay is smooth on either the mouse or the gamepad - Not too frustrating but more relaxing (breaking current records may get very frustrating) - Great concept for a puzzle game Cons - The music was not as atmospheric/ambient as I would have hoped for (This was corrected by turning the game music off and playing my own soundtrack) - I felt they could have expanded on the space theme. Suns, planets and black holes were great but I felt the time bombs didn't fit into the setting at all. They should have replaced them with an exploding comet or something found in outer space Overall this is one of those good little games to pick up during a Steam sale. http://youtu.be/UXrGmwY_Dw4

Easy to learn, hard to master. It starts out with easy missions but they get more complex and difficult as you go. It's a pretty fun game though; it's a nice break from the shoot-'em-up games. It requires a lot of patience, but I find it very fun! Love this game! :)
