A recent ShareAware feature from Applelinks examined Sakura Games' Mythic Adventure, an arcade puzzle game involving filling the game board with the proper pieces. The game features a variety of levels, construction tools, and bonus levels with mythic characters.

Here's the twist Sakura Games has brought to this formula. The game board comprises a large collection of empty blocks. At the bottom of the screen flows a steady stream of geometric shapes, much like the shapes that fall in Tetris. Your job is to drag these shapes onto the board to an effort to completely fill it up. It sounds simple, of course, but don't they all?

The game board isn't a simple square, so you have to be careful where you place your pieces. Although you can drag to the game board any of the currently available pieces from the river (those you don't use simply fall into oblivion), you'll find that luck plays a major role in your success. Inevitably, only single blocks will remain on the board, and you'll find yourself waiting for them impatiently as the timer continues to tick away.
