Crypto! 4.2

Developed by KMR Consulting, "Crypto!" is a challenging puzzle game in which you decrypt encrypted messages by using basic knowledge of the English language and using various in-game hints. It is an easy to use, challenging puzzle game that allows you to test your decoding skills by replacing the incorrect letters with the correct letters of each word.

If you have ever watched old detective shows, some criminals or "bad guys" use encrypted messages that make it hard for an unknowing party to read the message without a key. The way Crypto! works is very similar, in which you act like the detective and need to replace the incorrect letters with the letters that belong there. 

Crypto! is set up to give you a very useful, ten minute long tutorial to help get you started with the game. The tutorial does a very good job explaining how to play the game, use game hints, how the letter frequency list works, and helps improve your understanding of how the English language uses some letters a lot more than others to figure out how to solve each puzzle. 

While this version of Crypto! is shareware, it comes with a 30 day free trial which allows you to play and potential become addicted to the game so you will consider purchasing the game to continue solving the puzzles in this very simple, addictive game. 

Crypto! has the ability to help you solve puzzles with the features of giving you a small or big hint for the puzzle you are currently trying to solve. While some users may not use this feature at all, for those that are newer to a puzzle game like Crypto! may want to use the hints to improve their ability to play the game. 

All of these hints, as well as anything you do that makes your ability to solve the puzzle easier is logged and the less of these features you use, and the less time it takes for you to solve a puzzle, the better you are as a player.

One cool thing about Crypto! is that there are different kinds of puzzle file you are able to download from KMR Consulting's website to increase the different puzzles you can solve and further the lifetime of the game for you. This is something a lot of developers of puzzle games fail to do and anything that extends the lifetime of a game is always worth the time and effort. KMR Consulting clearly understands this and continue to make puzzle files for Crypto!.
