Puzzlar (Game)
Puzzlar is a game I wrote using the Torque 2D Game Engine (Beta 1.1).
It's a fast paced, extremely addictive 'match three' style game. It's pretty simple. Rows of the little balls fall from the top onto the board and you use your mouse to remove any of them by clicking (smashing) them, this causes anything above the 'smashed' ball to fall. If you match three, they explode and go away, causing the balls above them to fall. Rows of new balls fall faster and faster as the game goes on, if they stack up to the stop of the screen, you lose.
However, you can't just keep smashing balls to keep them from getting to the top of the screen. You start off each game with a certain number of smashes. If you run out of those smashes, you lose the game. You get an extra smash for every time you line up more than three matching balls. So if you line up four, you get one extra smash. Five gives you two extra smashes, and so on...
This game was developed on a Mac, but can run on Mac, Windows and Linux.
