I downloaded Four Shields and read the instructions which are in broken english and don't actually explain how to make a move. After several minutes of fruitless clicking I gave up and uninstalled it.

I downloaded the trail version and found the some problem. Instructions that do not explain how to move. After awhile I figured out that you must click on a shield or shield piece then click where you want the piece to move. The move must go to a to an empty spot. Best score for me without the stick (Makes the normal level more difficult) is 94.

Thanks... I took a second look and finally got it. Takes a number of games to get the hang of. Best score without stick 59 so far, but I think it could be much lower. Idea is clever and graphics and sound are nice but seems like it could become a little boring.
