I’ve downloaded some new levels for Prof. Fizzwizzle game (did you know that there are more that 550 of them?). Some of them are really impressive. To be honest - some of them are designed by insane or genious people. Let’s take for example level called Feeling blue. It looks difficult just by looking at it. But guess what - this one is so hard that you’ll probably have to watch it hundred times to learn full solution. It’s not just puzzles - you need excelent timing also. I strongly recommend to download this one and turn on show solution feature. Very soon you’ll start asking yourself - you have to be either genious or insane to solve it on your own

But don’t be afraid - each custom level has rating that say whether it’s good or not, how difficult and so on. And in game levels are well designed with superb difficulty progress.

Do you remember professor Fizzwizzle? Now he’s back in FizzBall. What’s FizzBall? This is next great invention of cute professor. It bounces, it flyes and it catches everything on it’s path. And then it gets bigger (and bigger). FizzBall is an arkanoid kind of game. I am not a fan of that kind of games, but I really like what I have seen in FizzBall so far. The Twist is very oryginal, game physics reminds me BreakQuest a little. Unbreakable trees drop fruits or pinecones, hens hit by fizzball lay eggs. Lot’s of small details to enjoy. Bouncing fizzball reminds me pinball games. I like that very much.

Grubby Games new game keeps the same level of polish we could see in Prof. Fizzwizzle. It also is as playable as their first game. Here are few screens from FizzBall. I can’t wait to see full version release.

It’s amazing that one team can make smash hit games one after another. Emmanuel knows for sure how to make them. He’s newest title - Atlantis Sky Patrol, sequel to Atlantis - is one of the best ball matching games (ever played Luxor or Zuma?).

What’s so hot about Atlantis Sky Patrol? In three words: gameplay, graphics, music. In that order. Did I tell you that I am the fan of Emmanuel’s particle works? Explosions, lasers, shots looks very good, very spectacular.

That’s not all. ASP has it’s own twist. Upgrade store - buy new features for your ship - better accuracy, stronger bonus magnet and more. Upgrading your ship has significant impact on gameplay.

Atlatnis introduces control panels that need to be destroyed to stop new waves of balls. It adds an extra element not yet found in other puzzle shooters. Instead of having to make so-many matches to stop the flow of balls, you have to shoot matching balls to stationary ones around the board. This means that if you are interested in getting through levels quickly you can focus on those, if interested in points you can play a level almost indefinitely.

Check it out! You will not regret.

Well, this made me laughing on the floor. I’ve played Treasure Island yesterday. It’s a match-3 kind of a game with pirates theme. Music is excelent and graphics is very nice. You start to play right away and when you advance to the next level… dancing skeletons pop in the front of you. That’s really funny and makes the game quite unique. I was impressed how smooth and realistic those moves are. Screenshots doesn’t show it - you have to watch it on your own.

There are just a few puzzle games that I like and Fairies is the one I like the most. Why do I like it so much? There are few reasons. Not only it has amazing special effects, but also graphics and music are awesome. And it’s very challenging, which is quite odd in nowadays games.

When I run the game for the very first time and started to play I lost on a first level. I was like “what the hell?”. That’s not what you expect from a casual game. In other games it is enough to click on the?playfield few times and you make it to the next level. But not in Fairies. You need to do matches fast and smart. And that’s what I love about this game! Game might be difficult, but not frustrating. Take it as a challenge.

Does this game have any odds? If I had to point one, I’d say story-line. It’s not exposed at all in the game, but that’s a minor falldown.

So go and play Fairies. This game is worth it.

I can’t do more coding today so I decided to give my grain a little breake and review one of the most enjoyable games I had a chance to play.

This game is exceptional - not only because it’s great, but it’s also rare (in a positive manner) - you won’t find many like this one on the net, so make sure you start downloading your free trial version while you read this review (PC, Mac, Linux).

The story is simple - genious professor needed some help in his lab with cleaning and sweeping, so he build a robot. Not long after the robots went rage and through professor out of his lab. Now you have to help the prof. to get back to his lab.

So what prof. can do? Manualy he’s much less skilled than mentaly… he can walk, climb a ladder, push and use power-ups. Not much you say, but it’s not the muscles that are important here. And he’s unbreakable - no matter from how high he falls it doesn’t do any harm to him.

As simple as it may look like at the beggining it’s not at the end. The more you play, the harder it gets. I am very impressed by the smooth introduction to all new features in the game. You don’t need to read the story, you don’t need the manual. Everything is explained nicely within the game so you even doesn’t notice that you’re playing tutorial.

The game has about 200 levels, but you probably don’t want to count level sets for kids. Still, it’s enormous amount of excercice for your brain. Believe me - later levels are not that easy, but whenever you’re stucked don’t have to tear hairs out of your head. Just use show solution feature to pass any element of the level or whole level. Zero frustration gameplay guaranteed as stated on developers website.

As a bonus, when you get the full version you gain access to custom levels made by fans of a little prof. And if that is not enough for you, you can made your own with built in level editor.

Almost last words
My recommendation: buy it. You can’t go wrong.

Parents point of view
The game does awesome job as a kid entertaing toy. No matter how old they are - they’ll love music and graphics. There are two sets of levels for kids - alphabet and kids (although some levels are in both sets). Those levels are much easier so you won’t be bothered by kid every time one struggle with the game.

Finally, when you have really small kid - let’s say 2 years old like my younger daughter Amelia - you can put one on your knees and press “show solution”. This way kid doesn’t interupt playing and there is something going on the screen.

The only thing I don’t get is why kids like so much watching professor falling of the ground

So is your download complete? Install it now and start playing.

This is my first review so keep this in mind (and that I am not a native english speaker)

Kubi is a set of 5 creative activities for kids 3+. One can form the picture by sliding and swaping slices. Use all skils to copy the picture or have fun with some coloring exercises. One can even draw your own KUBI pictures.

I started the game and put my three years old daughter (Wiktoria) in front of the screen. She had no troubles clicking big well designed icons. I had to explain her what she has to do in each of activities, but then she was able to play on her own. I don’t have to add that since then I had to let her play Kubi more often.

Pictures presented in Kubi are amusing. Drawn in a simple way - the way kid would do it - perfectly understandable for them.

The only minor issue I had with this is that time limit is set to 15 minutes. So make sure you test the game with your kid. Otherwise you my find Kubi great but your kid won’t have a chance to try it. But you can’t go wrong buying this title.

Kids love to draw and Kubi is a safe way for them to do it on computer.

Kubi is available for pc download and mac download. It’s less than 4mb so give it a try.

I decided to add reviews to our site. My personal, short reviews that will help you pick up the game you need - be it a game for you or your kid. I’ll start with reviews of kid games. Kubi, Prof. Fizzwizzle and Maggie the Gardener is a good begining. First review coming this week.
