Cute little mascot there, quite polished looking.

So what exactly is the gameplay style? Doesn't look like your average match-3 or "click interconnecting groups of one color to disappear them" (is there a generic term for that gameplay format?), which I guess would be a good thing, since I'm sick and tired of both of them.
(no idea how my mother can stand them)

As I remember it was quite good.

Hehe aye thats the old DeguDegu, there are quite a few elements of that in the new game.

Had to take an extended break so its not really been two years :P

@ Genexi2, the gameplay style is a mix between Tetris, Columns and PuyoPuyo. You try to arrange a series of colours vertically to free the degu (or anything else in the tiles) as its a hexagonal map there are loads of permutations and the game gets harder as more colours are added. To help you there are some spells you can collect to extend your tile swapping range, destroy tiles etc.

haha thats really cool, nice one!

I've not had this with any other blitz app, but every now and then the game would stick (repeating the last quarter of a second of music) for a few seconds.

I couldn't work out exactly what was causing it, but I think it was something to do with sound playback.

It's very cute. I don't like the "must-connect-to-another-of-the-same-color" dynamic too much, the first several times it seemed like a bug in the game (maybe because I didn't read the instrutctions).

I like the fireworks and confetti best :)

Nice game!

I did find that sometimes I got 3 in a row but it switched the tiles back and degu was still trapped!..when will my degu be free? >.<

Its a good game but you must make the text more readible, the spacing makes it hard to read on the help screens and these need reworking.


Perturbatio(Posted 2007) [#12]
