Part real-time strategy, part match-5 puzzler; Puzzlegeddon is undeniably fun and addictive.

What Pieces Interactive did to the simple game of match 5 colored cubes in a line (or row, or chain), is turn those simple colors into attack and defend resources for your in-game avatar. See, you are not alone on this playing field. Your enemies come in the form of alternate avatars that are also scrambling through their 6×6 grid collecting resources. Stay alive and win – it’s not at all that simple.

When not in the mood for frantic battle-action, I spent my time playing the puzzle-focused Poison Peril. Both modes are tons of fun, with tons of reply value and un-matched game-type flexibility. And as expected, multiplayer is viciously nerve-wrecking and challenging, while still keeping you coming back for more.

If you like puzzle games, don’t skip on Puzzlegeddon. The same goes for fans of real-time strategy titles. It’s simply too much fun, at its price point, to not support. [A-]

Not only has Fret Nice developer Pieces Interactive prove they can put together an inventive and fun platforming title, they’ve also proved they aren’t afraid of trying something different. Busting out the ol’ plastic guitar to play a platforming game sounds like a lot more fun than it really is, but that doesn’t mean the game falls short of being “purchase-worthy”.

Unlike your favorite Italian plumber platforming games, Fret Nice doesn’t rely on head-stomping as its primary attack maneuver. Instead you’re instructed to play riffs on your guitar in accordance with specific enemy attributes; a simple premise that is fairly intuitive and quite an interesting mechanic. When using a standard game-pad, Fret Nice is reminiscent of the Patapon or Loco Roco games; and controls just as well as it should be expected to. On the other hand when using a guitar peripheral the control scheme throws all intuitiveness out the window, and leaves you with confusing – and often broken – controls.

Looking past Fret Nice’s controller woes won’t be hard for anyone looking to jump into a bright, colorful, and competent platforming game which looks and feels like nothing you’ve ever seen this side of next-gen. Each of FN’s levels, and bonus stages, are well crafted and full of surprises down to the great boss encounters. The only thing holding back consumers from jumping into the world of Fret Nice is its aesthetics. While I’m a fan of the art design Pieces Interactive have chosen to roll with here, its bright, acid-trip appearance will most definitely scare off anyone who can’t open up to another’s approach. Those same people will be missing out on an enjoyable experience.

Not everything is grey and brown. Not everything is something before it. Fret Nice is a step forward in the right direction of music-based platforming games. And as disappointed as I was to see the idea of controlling my in-game avatar via plastic-axe fall short, it opened my eyes to how much fun Fret Nice is on the merits of its mechanics alone.  [A-]
