To be truthful, it is more a challenge, and one that comes with sincere sympathy, because folks on the Microsoft mobile platform now have the opportunity to be just as baffled as me.<\/p>\n<p>The physics-based puzzle game from the Finnish company debuted for Windows Phone 8. <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.windows.com\/windows_phone\/b\/windowsphone\/archive\/2013\/04\/03\/amazing-alex-rovio-s-fun-physics-puzzler-launches-on-windows-phone-8.aspx\" >According<\/a> to Microsoft&#8217;s Michael Stroh, &#8220;The game has more than 100 levels, 35 interactive objects, and four locations to keep things interesting. But one of my favorite features of Amazing Alex is this: the game lets you design and share your own levels &#8212; and download the best fan-created levels engineered by other players&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, that sounds about right &#8212; I would not honestly know since I became stuck on one level and have not moved since. Truth be told, I gave up trying, but am now inspired to go back and take a fresh look. Or perhaps I should simply hand the device to my son. Yes, make fun of me in the comments for my lack of gaming prowess.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.windowsphone.com\/en-us\/store\/app\/amazing-alex\/fac2552c-25bb-420c-b0b5-bb3059418933\" >Amazing Alex<\/a> is not free, but $0.99 is not a steep price to pay for your hours of entertainment, or in cases such as mine, months of frustration.
