MegaFlux, Matrix-style brain puzzle

MegaFlux just became one of my favorite Android puzzle games, as I’ve always been a fan of the Rube Goldberg machine-type of games (I remember the good old times after ’95 when I discovered “The Incredible Machine” game and became addicted) – these types of games usually require you to build a complex device to perform a simple task.

The basic rule of MegaFlux is to power the Processors using a Flux of energy of the right color. You achieve this by using the most important elements in your inventory, the Nano-tubes. Simply tap a nano-tube to turn it in the direction where you want your Flux to flow, as presented in this video:

Sounds simple enough but it all depends on what mode you’re playing the game into. If you start the Challenge mode (over 50 brain-puzzling levels) things get harder with the addition of Components, elements that can modify the flux. It takes a bit to learn how each of the components works (trial and error) and by the time you understand those you’re already addicted. Components that you can use:

Reverser – use it to reverse the color of the Flux
Decrypter – lets you decrypt a stream of encrypted elements (you’ll get those too throughout the game)
SuperFlux (and SuperFlux Generators) – use it for the Infected processors after you’ve generated it with the Capacitor. At the end of each world-level there’s a boss (infected processor) that you have to defeat

MegaFlux is free (with a small ad that can be removed for $1.99) and the amazing part is that you can play the Challenge mode and Relax mode for hours and hours. Usually you’d expect to get a very short gameplay time from a free game, but MegaFlux over-delivers.

Features and play modes:

Relax Mode – you can play random generated levels with varying difficulty
Challenge Mode – more than 50 levels (divided into separate worlds) that grow in complexity and are played in a specific order
Editing Mode – you can create your own grid with 80+ tiles to unlock
Community Mode – this is an upcoming play mode that will allow you to share levels
As you progress through the game you’ll receive medals for your achievements, right now over 66 medals are available
Share your scores (via Scoreloop) and see how you compare with others

Not only the puzzle logic in MegaFlux is well-thought, but its graphics and soundtrack too. The graphics will hint a bit towards Matrix, as you see random symbols traversing your screen from the top to the bottom and the colors have some neon-ish vividness in them.
