Chuzzle PC Review - www.impulsegamer.com -

Chuzzle is the latest gaming frenzy to be released by Mindscape Australia that revolves around a species called the Chuzzles which are colourful furry looking animals who are also quite explosive. In its essence Chuzzle is a puzzle game that although is reminiscent of games such as Tetris, Puzzle Bobble and Bust-a-Move, is it's own master.

Features

Classic, Speed, Zen and Mindbender modes for maximum fun!
Rainbow Chuzzles, Giant Chuzzles, Super Chuzzles and more!
Hilarious special Chuzzle animations and vocals!
Funky musical soundtrack and raucous retro sound fx!
Intuitive interface and PopCap’s classic addictive gameplay!
Earn tropies and make your mark in the Hall of Fame!

Featuring a variety of different gameplay modes that include “Classic Chuzzle”, “Speed Chuzzle” and “Mind Bender”, Chuzzle offers players quite a few different incarnations of this interesting puzzle game that albeit is quite frustrating as you progress is also quite satisfying and unfortunately quite addictive... yet in an enjoyable way.

So what exactly is Chuzzle? Similar to Tetris, the player needs to align three same coloured Chuzzles in a row and when this occurs, these cuddly and squeaky creatures explode. The gameplay also throws a few obstacles in your path to prevent the player from aligning these creatures as they move horizontally and vertically.

You can even create some interesting chain reactions by aligning these cute little creatures which adds to the arcade atmosphere of the game. The different types of Chuzzle do spruce up the gameplay and offers a wide gamut of different gameplay options that puts a true unique spin on the title.

Graphically, the title is a little simplistic but the colourful Chuzzles make up for the lack of detail and the game has a reel “80’s” retro feel to it. Match that with the strange sound effects of the Chuzzles plus some classic sounding arcade music, it's quite enjoyable.

At the end of the day, Chuzzles is quite an enjoyable game that comes at a bargain and quite affordable price. With a variety of different gaming modes, this modern spin to Tetris and Bust-a-Move is one for the puzzle fan!
