Available for the Pocket PC on the 14th December.

Quote

Chuzzles are googly-eyed little balls of fur that giggle, squeak, and sneeze as you push them across the board! Group three Chuzzles of the same colour together and watch them pop in a flurry of fur. Tap them to hear them squeak, sneeze and more!

Welcome to the world of the chuzzle, this is an interesting game on the lines of bejewled but with a twist.
Chuzzle is a collection of four different games that all work on the same control system. The odject of the game is to move your chuzzles around the board to construct lines of three or more groups, when you do the chuzzles will pop with fur flying in all directions.



There are four different games to play starting with;

Classic Chuzzle.
In this game you have to pop the groups of chuzzles, you do this by moving the chuzzles in either vertical or horizontal lines, when you line up three or more they pop.
Sounds easy but as you go further into the game you are presented with giant chuzzles who take up the space of four normal chuzzles and restrict the way you can move chuzzles around the board. Another obsticle you come across are locked chuzzles. Locked chuzzles prevent you from moving them in any direction and so the more you get the harder the game becomes until you run out of moves.
The only rescue you have are two scrambles which are automatically triggered when you run out of moves. When the scrambles activate they relay the board with new chuzzles.
When you pop chuzzles the get placed in the Chuzzle bottle, and when this is full you move on to the next level.

The second game is Speed Chuzzle
The game play is the same as the first but you have a time limit to pop chuzzles. As you pop each group you have a timer at the bottom of the screen which you have to race against. If you do not pop the chuzzles in time you suffer a penalty of recieving a locked chuzzle, when this happens the timer is reset and you starts again. each time the timer completes you get more and more locked until there are no more moves left.

The third game Mind Bender
This is more of a straight forward puzzle type game, where you have to move the cuzzles to create set patterns. There are one hundred different patterns to try your hand at with various difficulties. here is an example below.

Finally there is the Zen Chuzzle
Zen is an endless game and is useful for getting your popping skills and speed for the other games. As you progress through Zen you are awarded a chuzzle for filling the chuzzle bottle. When you have five chuzzles a bar appears from top to bottom of the screen, then when you have five of these bars you then get an award icon nect to your score.

Features
To keep the game challenging there are trophies you can be awarded, these are for completing different tasks which range from getting through a certain number of speed levels without getting a lock to having caused multiple combinations in popping chuzzles.
All the trophies you are awarded can be seen in the trophy room, there are lots to collect and some are extremely difficult to achieve.

I have been playing this game for a while now and it has to be the most addictive puzzle game of the year, with it's cute graphics and a soundtrack that flows with the gameplay. If we ever create a rating system for games this would easily be a 9/10 or possibly more :)

Chuzzle is due for release on Wednesday 14th December but the Pre-order by midnight on the 12th and get $5 off the price right now. Alternatively, sign up to be notified as soon as the PDA versions are available and receive a 10% release discount!
