Chuzzle Deluxe

If the idea of lining up fluffy creatures so they pop appeals to you, probably you should have a file with the government. But it's OK to have those feelings when you play Chuzzle Deluxe!

It's a bit of a granddaddy of Match 3 games, being about as old as Bejeweled. But, while that game went on to spawn loads of great sequels, it's as if the Chuzzles got stuck in a time warp. That's not to say it's not great fun, but it would be nice to see this game updated.

Drag a single line of Chuzzles either in the horizontal or vertical direction. While you're doing this, if your move would match 3 Chuzzles (they can be in a group as well as in a row), they begin to vibrate. Release the mouse button and they POP! More Chuzzles fall in to replace them.

Like most Match 3 games, you get encouragement for making bigger matches. Giant Chuzzles or bomb Chuzzles come when you match four or five of the same color. The game also gets more difficult, with locked Chuzzles appearing, plus multicolor Chuzzles, which can only be matched with other rainbow-colored ones.

If all this is too stressful, you can play the Zen mode, which allows you as much time as you like to make your moves.

We suggest you definitely download the FREE 1hr trial from iWin and give it a whirl. If you find yourself addicted to Chuzzle after an hour (which you WILL!), then you can get the full game FREE from GameHouse!
