People frequenting MSN Games will probably know Mozaki - a simple puzzler that is insanely amusing. Now, AstraWare has ported the game to touchscreened WIndows Mobile devices - can it stack up here?
Mozaki can be played in two modes - it supports both timed and untimed modes:
However, the game principle remains the same. Bricks appear randomly at the right side of the screen; they must then be moved onto the screen to create lines from the border to the center:
Tiles can be rotated on-screen by tapping them:
If a line of matching colors is established, it disappears:
Ganging up tiles leads to cubes which are worth more points when being removed:
The tile at the bottom right provides with special tiles that are colorless(match all colors) or remove tiles around them:
Replayability is achieved due to the level system. After a few lanes are cleared, the colors at the borders are swapped(adjacent tiles also swap colors); eventually, new colors appear.
AstraWare included a little on-screen-help system - it proved to be extremely useful for me:
This review looked at version 1.02 of the game on a hp ipaq rx4240. The program needs about 2MB of memory and can be run from an external memory card.
In the end, Mozaki is an excellent and amusing puzzler - unlike the smartphone version recently reviewed at TamsWMS’s, this one really is fun to play. Puzzle fans should definitely get it for the hammer price of 9.95$ at the TamsShop(and don’t forget the discount)!
