Water Bugs - A good for the whole family
A charming animated puzzle. It's your job to build walls to eliminate sections of the game area without running into the "Water Bugs". There are crawlers and swimmers. The crawlers can attack your walls and the swimmers are always in the way. Even children can play this game. Based on logic and strategic moves, there is no race against the clock. Once you clear 85% of the board you move on to the next level.
It is a straight forward game built on a concept that sticks around. Many gamers that still play "jezzball" (which is just a grid with balls), will find this fantastic. The balls are replaced with animated sea creatures. The grids are replaced with great graphics. Each level is wonderfully different. Plus you can attack the creatures if you like. This is the type of game that is repeatably playable.
Kid's will love it, and the sound effects won't drive mom and dad nuts. There won't be any hand cramps from shooting. If your in the older crowd the long term goal is to beat your own high scores - at least that's what us old timers say. It's a fun game for relaxed play.

Feeding Frenzy - Perfect for Children and Adults
As an extra bonus, Feeding Frenzy comes with a screen saver, which you can unlock by playing the demo. It is great to have an aquarium on your desktop. The smart thing about a screen saver is that you won't forget the name of that demo you played and uninstalled. Buying the wrong game by mistake after forgetting name of the demo, does not feel good at all.
Don't uninstall your demo when you're done. Settings for the fish tank Screen saver are in the game, and your fish will go away and you will have to reload it and play it again to get your fish back.
The graphics are nicely illustrated fish with big appetites. As you progress through your feeding frenzies, your fish is upgraded... up the food chain to bigger and bigger fish. There are nice fish tales and facts at the end of each stage. The game seems a little short to me. However, this turns out to be a good thing. It's refreshing to be a gamer and actually have a list of games that you can finish. Remember, every one who likes to play isn't an adult. That's right! What about the kids, the children? We have been so demanding on our game designers to add this and that and more challenges that the kids have to grow up before they can play. Feeding frenzy is a game that a kid can finish. Once you complete a stage it remains open to select at any time.
Feeding Frenzy is a delightful and challenging game that I am sure you will find enjoyable.

"Nobody loads a game like Reflexive"
Big Kahuna Reef 2 - Chain Reaction I have to have this one.
I said it before and I'll say it again: "Nobody loads a game like Reflexive"
May I add that nobody blows up a game board like Reflexive. To top that ... Nobody loads a board by blowing it up the way Reflexive does. This game makes me smile and laugh and genuinely happy. I thank them more than they know.
Not only do they have the best fish for a screen saver EVER...They have managed to improve a game that I thought they couldn't. Oh yeah, when I saw the bombs and dynamite I thought they had ruined it. They proved me wrong!!! This was the best explosive series I had seen in a game. And, don't let me start on the " going Nuclear bit" That just great. Self Clearing levels just for the heck of it. And, the Tiki pole. Well, I had never got it to go all the way to the top in the first one. Well, I finally got to see the Tiki reach the top. 248% mind you.
I have a new found appreciation of Hawaiian print shirts... you have to try out this demo!!!
All those contributions of additional levels made by big Kahuna fans from around the world have been thrown in as extra sets. Now, I bet you wished you had sent in the board you made....hunh? Hey, I didn't send in mine either. But, I had an excuse, I wasn't on line and um.... well...anyway. Demo Review by - debraford123 Download the demo |

Chuzzle Deluxe is Pinned to My Start Menu - One of My all time Favorites
I am very happy to see Chuzzle Deluxe here at Reflexive. This game has been pinned on my start menu for months. 1st they are so cute. Chuzzle is a Puzzle game. I have managed to earn 17 of the 26 trophies given for game achievements. The Graphics are great. Nothing sounds like a chuzzle but a chuzzle. They have given the chuzzles personality. If you play in Zen mode or Puzzle mode and take too long they will actually go to sleep. They get nervous to give you a subtle hints. Their eyes will follow you. And, you can tickle them. Classic mode is more focused on your accuracy of making the best combinations. In speed mode the focus is on the length of time it takes you to make a chuzzle group of three or more. Taking too long will get you a lock on one of the Chuzzles and freezes horizontal and vertical movement of the row and column that the locked chuzzle is in. You can actually get multiple locks in classic mode on a single play. It is challenging. I've found that the highest scores were achieved once I actually turned off the sound effects. The sound effects does make it more fun. However, for serious point scoring, they can be quite distracting. You can adjust the sound volume with your key board, but you cannot mute the sound during game play. This has to be done in the menu only. For the demo version I would just go ahead and leave the sound on and have a blast!

Mosaic: Tomb Of Mystery - looks like an award winner to me!
The graphics - stunning, well balanced, original, extreme care to detail, detailed, too 3 dimensional to be on a screen. The game play - original, interesting, challeging, twisting, multifaceted, educational,
compelling, award winning caliber, a whole lot of fun, suitable for all ages, suitable for mild or intense play.
The sound is excellent as expected. It's part of a family of games, that you know, you can play for hours -or- off and on for years, without ever getting sick of the music. As a parent, that raised a kid with game systems, I know most tunes will drive you batty after a few months. I've never had a problem with music or sound effects from Reflexive games.
Mosaic: Tomb of Mystery game demo, shows you instantly why Reflexive wins awards every time they make a game. I knew there was something special to be released, because, their tenth year anniversary getting closer.
This game explains all the reason's I went to Reflexive Entertainment, when I decided to do game reviews instead of ghost writing technical reports. Whereas, I am not a professional reviewer, yet, this would be the sort of break a newbie to the game reviewing genre of writing could want. There, could easily be a monthly article just on this game alone!!!!! I'm going to play it a lot. I stopped the demo, so I could buy it. It was an easy decision.
