Froozzle

FROOZZLE - a fruity puzzle game.

Please Note. there is no real gambling in this game but it does include a spinning wheel where you can bet points to win extra bonus points hence it is classified as simulated gambling.

Starts nice and easy so that you can quickly learn to play but don't be fooled it soon becomes challenging and can be quite addictive.

This game is a great way to pass the time, have fun and do a little brain training at the same time.

At the first level you have a grid of nine squares each one containing an item of fruit.

The grid is surrounded by buttons that allow you to change the fruit in the grid a line at a time, horizontally vertically or diagonally.

Each item of fruit in the line changes to another item of fruit in a given sequence. The sequence is shown in a banner displayed on the screen.

The initial sequence changes apples to bananas, bananas to strawberry's and strawberry's to apples.

In order to win the game you have to change the fruit in the grid so that the grid only contains apples.

So if a vertical line contains 2 strawberry's and 1 apple when you press the button for that line it will change to 2 apples and 1 banana.

To win you want to keep the apples and change the banana to an apple but if you press the same button again you will change the apples to bananas and the banana to a strawberry so this time you must press either a horizontal or diagonal button to change the banana and leave the apples alone.

Of course when you press this button you will be changing the other fruit in that line, so you have to press the right buttons in the correct order to solve the puzzle.

At the start of the game on level 1 the puzzles can be solved with only 2 button presses; these lower levels are intended to help you learn how to play the game and to develop your tactics for solving the more difficult puzzles at higher levels.

As you move up through the levels the grid becomes more 'mixed up' requiring more moves to solve it.

Get through enough levels and another fruit gets added into the sequence. At this point the grid becomes less 'mixed up' again so that you can get used to this new level of complexity. Don't worry it gets challenging again very quickly, and noticeably more difficult to solve than when you had just 3 fruits in the grid.

As you progress through the levels, additional fruits will be added up to a maximum of 8. After this the size of the grid will change to contain 16 fruits. Again the grid becomes less 'mixed up' and you start again with a sequence of only 3 fruits. This time however there are more buttons, and with more lines of fruit the puzzle quickly becomes even harder to solve.

You can if you wish use the menu to start again from the beginning or you can select any level you would like to play at.

You complete a level by winning 5 games at that level. Every time you do this you get to play one of the bonus games, fun to play they can give a great boost to your score.

If you wish just to play the main game the bonus games can be switched off (and back on) through the menu.

There are 4 different bonus games included with this puzzle; each one lasts for just 60 seconds so you need to be quick to boost your points.
