Description

Owl Tree is a game similar to the electronic games Merlin's Magic Square and Lights Out. The screen shows a tree with nine positions that are filled by one bat and eight owls. The objective of the game is to shoot the bats and attract owls to all nine positions of the tree in the fewest moves. By shooting a bat it disappears and an owl takes its place. Its neighbours will also be scared away and replaced by their opposites. The position of the first bat can be chosen before starting the game (center, side, corner or random).
