Clean simple graphics, that are enjoyable, and easy to interact with.

Instructions were lacking and although this was easy to overcome by just jumping in and experimenting, I could see where this might hamper some people's enjoyment.
Review:

Enigmo is a great way to lose time, I was hooked as soon as I started playing and time just flew by without notice. The graphics are fairly bright and pleasing but still relatively simple meaning they should still look good on older systems. The puzzles that are to be solved were challenging and yet with a bit of patience and trial and error were reasonable solvable. If you like games that make you think a bit then this is a game that I would highly recommend.
At first I was bothered by the fact that there were not any clear instructions, regarding the objective (although this is fairly obvious, direct the water and stuff dropping out of one container into the receptor container that matches it), or as to what the objects you used to divert the water and stuff actually did. But as I was forced to experiment with the objects, I quickly learned how to use them without directions. I actually believe that by experimenting I learned to use the objects more effectively than had I been shown what they did, and how they could be used. So even without clear instructions the game, in regards to interacting within it, is actually very simple, and should not cause most people any distress. Mastering the game, or building up high scores and high bonuses is a bit more difficult, but totally enjoyable.

Conclusion:

Very entertaining game, especially if you are tired of the standard shoot em up games, and want to try something that requires a little thinking.
