A thinky spacial puzzle with Sims production values
Backbeat is a fantastic, (can be) tough spacial puzzle about some 90's youths starting a band and winnng the big open mic contest.
Essentially the board is a grid like a chess board where the characters need to get to a goal spot. Each of the 4 characters is unique in thier movement type. One moves two space(on "black chessboard" spaces) another moves two spaces(on "white chessboard spaces") another moves 6 spaces but stops at obsticles and a 4th that moves 1 space at a time. All characters are on a movement tracker that tracks how much they have used. To get a perfect score you need to turn each character at a time when the others are not turning. It will work your brain.
There is other rules, moving obsticles, instrument loadoats(special powers) to spice things up. Lots of the puzzles melted my mind trying to get a perfect.
For puzzle fans like me this one is a hit.
