It's a kick watching kids and adults alike play Chain Reaction for the first time. You can actually see the gears turning in their minds! comments Chris Cole, lead designer and programmer of Chain Reaction. There's so much potential in these real-world-in-a-box games. This demo will allow players who enjoy mind calisthenics to easily sample Chain Reaction.
