Almost a day ago, developer Jochen Heizmann from Intermediaware informed us about the Linux port of his popular puzzle game Temple Of Tangram. I had never heard of it before(I am not an avid gamer of sorts) and so I decided to give it a first hand try. And I got to tell you, I was impressed. It was like the top games for non-gamers in Linux we had featured here before, slick, simple and addictive, all at the same time.
Temple of Tangram is a typical game for Windows... lots of unnecessry screens and mouseclicks to get to the game play, and mind numbing inroductory levels, lots of unnecessry window dressing, and in the end just another Tangram game.
Both the native Linux versions of Tangram, available on my Linux Mint machine, gTrans and Peces are much better implementations of the game. gTrans is a nice basic version of the game, while Peces or GL peces is simply surpurb.
