“Caught somewhere between Tetris and Sudoku”- BBC

LONDON (19th January 2012) — Square Enix Ltd., the publisher of SQUARE ENIX® interactive entertainment products in Europe and other PAL territories, today announces it has acquired the license for the award-winning puzzle game KooZac™, and will soon be bringing a brand new Smartphone and tablet version of the game to iOS and Android devices.

Described by the BBC as “the ultimate in brain training” and “utterly addictive”, KooZac is an immersive puzzle game devised by Ben Cusack which has racked up 15 million plays online and picked up a Channel 4 “Best International Interactive Viral” award. With the original concept created following years of research into what makes an evergreen puzzle game, Square Enix recently moved to acquire the KooZac license, and also hired Ben Cusack in the process to head up its expanding mobile division.

“KooZac has all the makings of a classic puzzle game and heralds a new style of casual game for Square Enix Ltd and our expanding digital portfolio,” says Antony Douglas, Digital Sales Director, Square Enix Ltd. “Since its original online launch the game has enjoyed huge recognition from the media, the industry and its fans. The addition of Ben joining as Head of Mobile also gives us unparalleled expertise and insight into the world of mobile entertainment.”

“It’s hugely exciting to know the new version has the publishing and marketing support of Square Enix behind it,” comments Ben Cusack, creator of KooZac and Head of Mobile, Square Enix Ltd. “On a personal and professional level I look forward to taking KooZac to a much wider audience via the forthcoming Smartphone and tablet versions.”

About KooZac:

The concept of KooZac is simple: position the falling blocks on top of each other to hit the target number and complete the set amount of combinations to finish each level. KooZac has proven to be a compelling game that appeals to gamers of all levels, and has been played in over 150 countries.

The fully updated and reimagined Smartphone and tablet version contains three game modes, all-new graphics and a simple user interface that take KooZac to a whole new level.

New Ways to Play

· Puzzle – Play through 60 levels, destroying the silver puzzle blocks and clearing the board by completing the targets.

· Endless – No level, no stage – compete against the world in Endless mode and use multi gems to rack up huge scores.

· Blitz – Complete targets and use boosts in order to get the highest score possible in one minute. By connecting with Facebook, players can compete with others for high scores on live leaderboards.

I recently got news of BulkyPix’s latest game – Jazz: Trump’s Journey. It is a platform game where you can see Trump in action through the following screenshots. The game is going to be released on iPad first before it gets to the iPhone.

The game is different from the traditional platform game as the story is inspired from historical events and strong characters. The game has jazz music in the game. It could be good news for Jazz music lovers.

The game will be released soon on iTunes Apps Store.

The Magician’s Handbook: Cursed Valley is a recent game published by G5 Entertainment. The game is different of the typical hidden object game published by G5. The objective of the game is to find different objects to make the magic spell. What makes this game unique from the rest is the presence of the hint and repel button right at the left bottom of the screenshot. The red hand represent the repel button. It is usually activated once you found a repel object in the game itself.

The repel casting spell is activated once you found a magical repel object. The repel spell is to get rid of distracting sounds or objects in the game that will hinder your progress of detecting the hidden objects.

Once you have used the repel spell, you need to wait for it to recharge so that it restores itself. Similarly, the hint button also needs to recharge itself once used. The top blue button with an eye is the hint button.

Finding the list of objects on the left hand side of the game is not an easy task. Sometimes, the objects displayed may not necessary be an “object”. For instance, I was told to find wolf in the screen. But one of the wolf is actually in words. One glitch is that some of the hidden objects are placed in dark areas. You need careful observation and a keen eye to spot them. What I suggest is that there should be a torch object I can use to shine certain parts of the picture to find these hidden objects in dark areas. It will greatly help for gamers in the game as the current hint button has limited usage.

There is a feature that you will never find in a hidden object game. It is a match 3 game! The match 3 game requires you to swipe your finger across similar objects to make them disappear.

There are other parts of the game that is worth noting. Chanting of spells is created in a unique way. You need to find words that match the spell on the left hand side of the screen to invoke the spell.

The game also encourages the gamers to continue playing by rewarding them with achievements.

Besides this, the game also updates the player with their progress in the game.

There are many towns to visit to find your hidden magical items. Once you complete your quest in the town. They will disappear in the map once you complete the task.

If you are finding a hidden object game, you can try this Magician’s Handbook: Cursed Valley. It has most of the essence of hidden object games with some extras like special sound effects that is related to the picture while you play the game.
