About this game
FaceTrex is a grid puzzle about positioning both the player and the pieces that stop a sliding tile. Move the red character with the arrow keys and push each face toward its matching negative image. A face slides until another face or the edge of the board stops it. Once it reaches its matching target, it locks into place and cannot be used as a movable obstacle again.
Later puzzles introduce arrows that redirect sliding faces, green blocks that move one square per push, and fixed black holes that act as walls. Solving a board often depends on arranging those obstacles before committing a face to its final position. Undo takes back the last push, while Try Again restores the current puzzle.
This is FaceTrex 2.0, the 1995 revision of the DOS shareware game first released in 1993. It includes 25 selectable puzzles and built-in solutions for the first five. Press S, choose a puzzle and confirm with Enter to begin. The original artwork, English menus and edition restrictions are preserved.
