Video Game Reviews of Polarium
Customer Review: Mind Numbing
Summary: 3 Stars
Yes, it is mind numbing, but that isn't a bad thing. Somedays that is exactly what I need; to put my mind and hands towards doing something that wipes out all other thoughts from my mind. And this does it well! It is challenging, however if you are looking for pratice or a way to just sit and do this endlessly, they have that built into the programming. It is fun, and it is challenging. As mentioned in some of the reviews, the game is very touchy registering the stylus, so if you get in a hurry squares will get mis-marked and you have to go back and unmark them, wasting time. But isn't that what challenging is about?!Customer Review: Great Thinking Puzzle Challenge But Sequel is Better!
Summary: 5 Stars
Basics: You are presented with a black and white grid, of which, your goal is to draw a path which flips the colors to give matching rows.
Pros:
Core puzzle idea is elegantly simple but allows for a reasonable level of complexity in later levels.
Difficulty level increases linearly.
Cons:
Only 100 puzzles
No online play/features
Comments:
I had fun figuring out the puzzles. Both this and its sequel are worth getting.
The sequel Polarium Advance, which unfortunately many people haven't heard about since for some reason it was released as a GBA game(which can be played by your DS Lite or original DS). However considering that it has three times as many puzzles plus other improvements, it is definitely worth getting if you enjoyed the original DS one.
Logistical Tip:
If you find tracing the path directly does not work smoothly for you, you can just tap a square that is as far in a particular direction you want to go(I mention this specifically since some reviewers said they had control problems and also since the game never tells you it can be done the way I just specified).

It's a little intense and addicting for such a mindless game. But, if you like having your mind wiped and gritting your teeth for hours at a time, it's great. Customer Review: Polarium - DS

Hello I'm autistic adult gamer...
This is a hard game for me to play it's really hard to figure out but it's also fun in the other point because I like challenges. This game is frustrating but fun. Get this game if you like a challenge.
Happy Gaming!
Customer Review: Addicting
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is simple to play and an ideal time waster. It's very addicting because you are just determined to get that next high score. The object of the game is to draw a line and make all the tiles white so that they will cancel each other out. Similar to Tetris but a little different because of the way that you use the stylus and how you are able to draw the lines. Extremely hard when you really get into the gameplay. If you are easily frustrated with games, I wouldn't recommend getting this one, but if you like a challenge that involves puzzles. Great for car rides, waiting in the doctors office, etc. I like it!
