Pyramids of Hanoi

This game is also included in the Games 5-Pack! 5 Games for $25!

Hundreds of years ago, a wise French mathematician called Édouard Lucas, invented a game called “Tower of Hanoi”, inspired by a legend concerning monks moving golden disks around in a temple. Enfin, this is irrelevant, but if you’re interested, Wikipedia has a whole history on it.

I’ve created this flash game, following the rules of the Tower of Hanoi game, except that in my game, you’re not building a tower. I found it graphically more interesting to build a pyramid.

The goal of the game is simple: get all the bricks from the leftmost tower to the rightmost. You can only drag one at a time, though, and bigger bricks cannot be placed on top of smaller ones. Seems like an easy job, huh? Wait and see when there’s 15 bricks stacked on the left tower, waiting for you to drag them around.

The game gets very addicting, as you’ll be tempted to finish the highest amount of levels you can. Perhaps fun to play with more people – who can beat level 10 the fastest? Don’t worry, all your progress is stored in “Shared Objects”, so that it’s saved after you close the game. You can also play against the computer – on several different difficulty levels. All with all, a quite elaborate game around such a simple concept.

The file includes a CS3 version as well as a Flash 8 version. For those interested: there’s also a preloader included, that can be used on stand-alone basis in other projects as well.

Enjoy!
