Hmm... was it a grimace? A small smile? A twitch of the mouth? Or was it just a reflex action? Oh well... I guess I'm the only one who knows what I'm talking about XD

Anyway, if you've got some time to spare, and you're into classical music and art, why not give Beethoven's Hair a try? =)

It's really quite a simple point-and-click interactive game with surrealistically beautiful graphics, haunting music composed by Beethoven, as well as a concise information on the maestro's life history.

The one gripe I have about Beethoven's Hair is how frustrating it was initially to make sense of the game's controls. In the game, your cursor is a butterfly, in which you use the up and down arrow keys to move, well, up and down... as well as your mouse to move around the screen.

It took a bit of practice controlling the butterfly, as well as a lucky fluke, to complete the game's first task. Nevertheless, the small tasks you'll have to perform are simple enough.

A bit of advice - do make full use of the down arrow key, as well as the in-game instructions. That should put you in good stead to complete Beethoven's Hair ^^

Oh, and the game might potentially leave you feeling thoughtful and just perhaps a little melancholy, so be warned. But at the same time, it does fill you with a glimmer of hope as well. For that reason alone, Beethoven's hair is definitely worth a try =)
