In Red Remover, players must make all the red blocks disappear off screen without losing any green blocks. Players click objects to make them disappear, and must do so in a way that gets the red blocks to fall off the screen. The game features strict physics, with objects reacting realistically to forces of gravity within the game. Red Remover involves no inappropriate content, and is simple to understand and control. However, the levels do become progressively difficult and may be a bit tough for very younger players. Due to these considerations, Red Remover is recommended for players ages 6 and up.
Developing a systematic approach for setting and achieving goals.
The only way players interact with the game is by making objects disappear. They cannot pick up or drag anything on screen. This mechanic requires them to think carefully about each move they make. Blocks will shift and fall when the ones beneath them are removed, so players must be able to think ahead and sequence out the appropriate steps in order to figure our the correct solution. When deciding the order in which to remove blocks, it only takes one wrong move to cause everything on screen to tumble down.
Adapting and adjusting to changing conditions and expectations.
There are three types of blocks in Red Remover: red blocks that must be removed, green blocks that must be protected and blue blocks that can either be removed or left alone. In later levels, blocks will fall off the screen in different directions, depending on the orientation of their faces. The game's ever-changing puzzles and progressively more difficult challenges require players to experiment a bit, adapting to new layouts level to level. Players who can quickly recognize the challenge each level presents will find it easier to plan a successful strategy for success.
