Another thing that makes the game unique is the interactive terrain, which enhances the gameplay experience. You will have the opportunity to build the path yourself, increasing the strategic elemnt of the game.
There is also an online highscore ranking, where you are able to compare your strategic mind with others. Another nice addition being the save progress option, which lets you save your game at any point, so you should not be worried if you have to stop in unexpectedly.
