Little Wheel

A charming little click-and-solve adventure that is more than just a game

If the purpose of video games is entertainment, than Little Wheel is right up there with the best of them. In terms of skill, it demands very little. But for the 10 minutes that you play it, you will be completely enthralled.

The game has a great black-and-beige art style, which goes perfectly with the futuristic world that it portrays. The world is full of living robots, who go about everyday tasks much like humans do today. But all these robots, naturally, are linked to a central power supply.

One day, the main power generator has an accident, which shuts off all the robots. Essentially, the entire world falls into a deep sleep until a bolt of lightning strikes! As it so happens, the lightning strikes Little Wheel, our protagonist and the character you will play as.

As Little Wheel awakens and realises what has happened, a sense of duty compels him to rush to the main power generator and fix the problem.


The entire adventure is a click-and-solve affair, where one sees little items at each point circled. These items can be clicked and used to perform some task. The trick is in figuring out the right combination or sequence in which to click them, as you seek to start elevators and trains, raise bridges and break down huge piles of debris to make your way through.


The game isn’t very difficult, but the presentation is what hooks you in completely. The art is magnificent, right from the colours and tones used to the movements of all the bots, and especially Little Wheel himself.


And then there’s that brilliant jazz soundtrack playing in the background that will have you grooving along to each click. Simply marvelous.

Little Wheel is more than just a game — it’s an experience. Try it out!
