Review: Kaotik Puzzle (Xbox 360)

This is what could only be called a cloned hybrid of Zookeeper for the DS and one of the many Tetris style puzzle games out there.

This strangely addictive game by Silvermax is one of those games that you could find yourself playing for hours on end, but the same could be said for many games of this kind. It is annoying to the point of maddening, but still strangely addictive. The music as always when it comes to Indie games is fun for about 5 minutes but you will soon be muting your television in order to stop the inevitable brain melt that is bound to happen.

The concept is simple enough, you have a screen which is quarter filled with various coloured blocks and you have to link said blocks together in groups of three or more to make them vanish in a tiny explosion. What makes this game different is that blocks don’t fall from the top of the screen to hamper your progress. The blocks push up at a horribly slow rate which adds to the slow pace of the game in general. However don’t be fooled, because you can soon lose your concentration, especially in the harder difficulties and find yourself with a screen full of blocks while your opponent slowly edges closer and closer to victory.
