When I played the game Arca Archa Scindo, at first, I did not quite see the point of moving a simple "4-squared" block, but after I got the hang of the maneuvers placed into the game i was well on my way to victory. I give Arca Archa Scindo 4/5 because of the unique game play it displays. This is not a conventional game; In this game you must have concentration, patience, and intelligence (three highly valued attributes).

The game has a simple objective; To get to the finish mark with as little movement as possible, but it is not as easy as it sounds... to increase the challenge of this game there are maneuvers that can be done and must be done in order to complete a stage. The maneuvers vary between the levels and some cost you movement points... although you can do them at certain times, it might be best to just think it through and decide whether it will actually cost you moves. The Creators also added another trick to the game; Different paths. The different paths make you think about which way you should go and which ways you should not. Some paths might lead you to a dead end! All in all the graphics of this game could have had just a little more detailed, but the addictiveness of Arca Archa Scindo makes up for this minor defect.

As for concentration, the sound was enough to calm my nerves and enable me to focus on the main purpose of the game in a relaxing but exhilarating way, which helped me a lot on some levels. The creativity of this game goes off the wall in my gaming opinion; Although it is simple in a basic, virtual manner, the actual game play makes Arca Archa Scindo a game to come home to. With many addicting levels, maneuvers, and challenges Arca Archa Scindo's energy never dies down! In fact, I basically sobbed when my trail ran out! The creative technique of beating your own score and with the many levels makes this game one to love.

Experiencing this game for the first, second, and even third time gave me a thrill of gaming passion and I will certainly purchase this game as soon as possible. So in my personal opinion, Arca Archa Scindo deserves a 4/5 for creativity, passion, and exhilaration.
