The first thing that struck me about Quantz was, hands down, the beautiful graphics. At one point I found myself literally exiting and reentering so that I could watch the play of colors and lights work across my screen like a set of fireworks. It was really inspiring and if I had anymore skill with a paintbrush than a two year old I would doubtlessly find myself tempted to put brush to canvas.
Quantz is an arcade-esque game that takes the bejeweled idea of matching up like colored shapes 
to get dazzling results and throws it up against a wall. Quantz, instead gives you a little magnetic cube, some shiny and often unreliable marbles, and tells you to attempt to match them up with rockets of light, charges, and gravity. It’s like working a rubix cube that never stops moving.
It’s exhilarating and non-stop and the levels have a nice pick up after the tutorial, letting you get used to the steady stream of information at a reasonable pace. The music kept you in the moments of working and you could easily find your own heart matching the dull throb of the atmosphere while you desperately turn your magnetic rubix cube this way and that in order to try to keep your marbles in a particular group.
While playing Quantz I expected to kind of sit back and use my mouse to work a little puzzle. There are actually, three ways to play the game itself, those being: action, puzzle, and strategy. I, of course, picked puzzle. That being said, even the most laid back option (in my opinion) was a considerable challenge. I found that pointing and clicking wasn’t going to cut it in this game and even without picking strategy each aspect of the game is going to require you to think out your moves accordingly.
That being discovered, I decided it would be best to veer away from my norm and try the other to categories as well and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. Though not usually my cup of tea I had the most fun in the action levels. With such a straight forward game you wouldn’t expect there to be so many different ways to enjoy it but Quantz really went above and beyond my expectations. I loved playing it and would recommend it to anyone who likes these kinds of games. It’s a real must see.
