Lonpos review – WiiWare World
An extract from the Lonpos review by WiiWare World:
"Having been available since WiiWare launched in Japan, Lonpos has been a long time coming. The game itself has been adapted from a popular logic puzzle game of the same name. The question of course is how well does it fare against the many puzzle titles already on WiiWare?
At its core, Lonpos is a pretty basic puzzle game. To complete a stage, the player is required to simply manipulate a set number of shapes (known as Pentominoes) so that they can be successfully placed onto a rectangular 2-dimensional grid, which houses an increasingly smaller amount of shapes already integrated. Taking the role of the singular controller, the Wii remote’s motion controls and IR pointer are used to carry out any change to a shape.
Each Pentomino can be rotated in 90° intervals by tilting the remote left or right, whereas pressing and holding the "B" button grabs the shape. Once seized, the player can move the remote to place the shape in a vacant position on the grid, while shapes can also be dropped at the side of the grid so the player can attempt to fit another piece."
