A lot of the games are repetitious – things we’ve seen before, played before and got tired of before. On the other hand, games who try something completely new and unknown don’t often succeed, because gamers sometimes prefer the familiar.

Still, you don’t have to re-invent the wheel in order to create a cool new game. Sometimes, it’s enough to give the game a different feel to it – and that’s all you’re going to need.

Check out 4 Differences for example. A new game on Kongregate, that from first look offers nothing new – it’s just another “Find the Differences” game, and it’s even less challenging than the usual ones, because you only need to find four differences, rather than the usual five or six.

Still, 4 Differences is a lovely, different gaming experience. The most prominent feature are the graphics – they are extremely well done and unique, and give a special feel to the game. The surreal music contributes to the soothing effect, making this a fun, relaxing game, with a lot of cool ambiance.

In each stage, the screen is split into two parts – and your mission is to find the differences between the similar-but-different images. For extra comfort, the mouse pointer will move simultaneously in both halves of the screen, making it easier to point out the differences.

The graphics aren’t static, though: airplanes fly in the sky, animals suddenly walk around and the entire scenery moves, reflects and waves with your mouse gestures. A lovely experience which makes this game much more fun to play.

So, we have a simple concept with a unique execution, great graphics and wonderful ambiance. All in all, 4 Differences is a cool game to play!
