The Icarus Project is a remake of a great, but little known, puzzle game called Daedalean Opus (aka Puzzle Road in Japan).

Daedalean Opus was released by Vik Tokai, for the Nintendo GameBoy, way back in 1990. Due to its unpronounceable name and weird-looking box art, this game did not receive much attention from the public.

However, the gameplay is actually very fun, and well suited to the portable format. In fact, it might just be the best puzzle game you've never played.

The Icarus Project keeps the same gameplay as the original game, but the levels, graphics, and music have all been redone for the PSP.

The Icarus Project features:

- 15 levels, each one more challenging than the last.
- High-Quality graphics, unique to each level.
- Music from Vivaldi, Bach, and Corelli, rendered in classic Chip-Tune style.
- Highly polished controls and menus.
- Automatic progress saving.
- Hours and hours of very addictive gameplay (You've been warned!).

download from here: http://www.chaosmachine.net/studio/icarus/

standalone and luaplayer versions available. should work on all firmware versions up to 2.0 (with luaplayer), but has only been tested on version 1.5. please let me know if you have any problems with it.

looking forward to your feedback ;)

from the readme:

Use the cursor to drag the blocks into the goal area. You must make all the blocks fit. Blocks can be flipped and rotated as needed. Each level is designed to be more difficult than the last. As you progress, more pieces will be added.

more fun to play than to read about.. from a recent comment on pspupdates:

"WOW! Absolutley, one of the best puzzle games i've played. Simple yet challenging. Very polished, great sounds, an awesome game. Thank-you."

:)

Very nice game! You did a great job, never played the one you talked about for the GB, but this is great. I look forward to more games or more levels. ;-P (currently on lvl 11)
