Chuzzle Deluxe

It's super-addictive, in other words. Besides the obvious Tetris, the only mobile game that comes close is Tower Bloxx, in terms of keeping our thumbs glued to the keypad. Whether you consider yourself hardcore, casual or somewhere between the two, Chuzzle Mobile is an essential download.

All that aside, the game is truly great - well-designed and endlessly fun puzzle with a cute edge. Of course, no matter how cute they are, sometimes you just want to kick a Chuzzle. Does that make me a bad person?

Overall, Chuzzle is a fun, fun game. If you are looking for an easy game that makes time fly, Chuzzle is it. After an hour of playing I didn't want to turn it off so I could go home! I'm sure you will find it as addictive as I do.

Chuzzle is one of PopCap's most popular games and it's easy to see why. It's a happy little game full of happy little explosions -- chuzzles love to be destroyed! With it's four variations on the classic game, Chuzzle Deluxe offered me plenty of variety and challenges. Even after a month of very addicted play, I still haven't cleared all the Mind-Bender levels and I still look forward to playing every time I launch the game. If you are looking for good value in a puzzle game that really is suitable for all ages (I recommend the calm Zen Chuzzle for young children), you can't go wrong with this purchase.

Chuzzle is an interesting blend of a simple match-three game like Bejeweled and a brain-busting puzzle game like Cogito. Instead of swapping individual rows of jewels or the like, you've got to grab and move an entire row or column to form groups of three like-colored chuzzles. Since the end of the board wraps around to the other side, this mechanic has almost a conveyor-belt feel to it--except when the game starts to throw curveballs at you, like exploding chuzzles, obese chuzzles that can't wrap around the side of the screen, and locked chuzzles that freeze the lines they fall on. In addition to sequential levels, the game also features a time trial mode, a very comprehensive puzzle mode, and a relaxed Zen mode that gives you all the hints you need. Presentationwise, the chuzzles, which are silly little poof-balls with animated, googly eyes, add some personality to the game's clean look. Chuzzle's excellent neo-disco soundtrack also deserves special mention.
