The puzzles can be played at three difficulty levels and more complex puzzles are unlocked through a player's progression through the game.Many of the puzzles are similar to those from both. For example, Balance shows different objects on scales, and the player must determine from the relationships on the scales which is the heaviest object. In the Trout Route test, the player must follow a path based on the progressive numerical relationship given (i.e. +2, -3, etc.) Travelling requires the player to memorize a route of arrows, while Ascending has the player determining the order of a group of objects from least to most in amount.

It's being sold on Xbox Live Arcade
If you're making great own-IP mobile games, why shouldn't you also be releasing them on other casual gaming platforms, whether it's Facebook, Xbox Live Arcade, or even Nintendo DS?
It's a theory we've been mulling for some time, but thankfully, publishers are putting it into practice now.
The latest example: Gameloft has released its Brain Challenge brain-training game for Xbox Live Arcade, meaning Xbox 360 gamers will be able to tone up their grey cells too.
What's more, it's the first brain-trainer to be released on the service, which should guarantee Gameloft a healthy number of downloads, even from people who've never heard of the mobile version.
There are some new bells and whistles, with online and offline multiplayer modes for up to four players, using a card-based gameplay mechanism that's exclusive to Xbox Live Arcade.
Granted, we wouldn't normally cover XBLA content, but we also think it's worth trumpeting the migration of mobile games onto other gaming formats. So there.
