Play Theta: no DS required
Vitei's new Nintendo-published (in Japan) puzzle game Theta is pretty hard to describe. It's a bunch of puzzle challenges that are all very artsy-looking and abstract. In fact, we really have no idea how any of it works-- with the exception of the Kaiten Puzzle mode. We were only able to figure out what that's about because there's a Flash demo.Basically you spin gears, two at a time, so that little spheres fall into indentations, with the goal of getting both spheres into the shaded gear. It takes some fooling around before you see how it's supposed to work, and then it's fun. You can also watch a video of the Aquarium Puzzle game, which looks like it involves using the stylus to create currents that pull spheres into circular regions. Maybe.

Interesting puzzle game, I tried about 3 puzzles and gave up because it has some minor issues detecting when you move the mouse around to do a circle.

There was a very similar game for the GBC called Logical. It involved spinning gears with colored balls that you had to switch from one to another. It was a very fun, if aggravating at times, puzzler.

Looks like it might be worth picking up.
