I started with the arcade level and I've come across 3 modes so far (I'm sure there will be more): mirrors, connections and maze. With the first mirror level, you need to figure out where the laser will hit and move the shield to deflect the laser blast. There are 4 mirrors moving "randomly" reflecting the laser beam, making it more difficult to know where the laser will hit. In the second mirror level, instead of the randomly moving mirrors, you need to move and/or rotate each of the mirrors yourself to diffuse the bomb.
The connection level is a little like pipe dream, except you can only rotate the pieces in place. You need to make a connection for each color, while "gremlins" try to undo your work. Sorry I don't know the proper terminology, but the manual is brief and the instructions go by quickly. You can press Select if you need to repeat the instructions.
In the maze level, you need to move balls to certain locations to diffuse the bomb. This is a little like the old Labyrinth game - some may compare it to Mercury. In the first level you need to move the first ball to disable the force field before moving the second ball past the force field to the first location. Then move the first ball to the second location. It's easy to fall off the track without any feedback - makes it feel like 2-D when it does.
I haven't made a lot of progress yet, but I wanted to post a review to give a second perspective. I guess with a game it's possible for each person to have very different opinions. I happen to find this game very challenging, but learnable. The graphics are excellent, except for the hokey blast into a white screen when you don't diffuse the bomb in time.
sorry, I fell asleep even thinking about this game. in fairness, I won't ever see this game, 'cause I can't pry Hot Shots Golf out of my PSP to save my lfe. crack kills.
SmartBomb is a decent puzzle game, but the complexity and speed of each puzzle makes the difficulty really ramp up even between the Tutorial level and the first real level.
