enigma - Puzzle game reminiscent of Oxyd

enigma [--nosound] [--nomusic] [--nograb] [--window] [-h|help] [--data=dir] [--lang=lang] [--version]

Enigma is a puzzle game similar to Oxyd on the Atari ST or Rock'n'Roll on the Amiga and good old Marble Madness.

In Enigma, your objective is to locate and uncover matching pairs of Oxyd stones. Simple as it sounds, this task is made more difficult by the fact that Oxyd stones tend to be hidden, inaccessible, or protected by unexpected traps. Overcoming these obstacles often requires a lot of dexterity and wit (and can be quite addictive.
