Chuzzle Deluxe is a tile-matchingpuzzle video game created by American studio Raptisoft Games, and published by PopCap Games. It is named after the multi-colored fuzzballs around which the game revolves.
Gameplay[edit]
The player is presented with a 6x6 board of multi-colored fuzzballs called 'Chuzzles'. Matching 3 or more of the same colored Chuzzle removes those Chuzzles from the board and allows new Chuzzles to drop in. Chuzzles can be matched in vertical or horizontal lines, 'L' shapes and cubes. Mega Chuzzles also feature in the game, taking up 4 squares on the grid. Matching with a Mega Chuzzle provides more points to the player.[2]
Moves are made by dragging rows and columns. The rows and columns 'wrap' when dragged off the grid; Chuzzles on the left reappear on the right, top reappear on the bottom, and vice versa. This 'wrapping' of the grid can be a source of difficulty because some moves may require the player to drag edge Chuzzles to the middle. Eliminated Chuzzles' eyes fly into a flask to the left of the board. When the flask fills to its neck, the level ends and bonus points are awarded, 1000X the level number in Casual difficulty (up to 10,000), and 2000X the level number in Expert difficulty (up to 20,000).
The overall gravity of the grid is downward; new Chuzzles appear from the top.
Other modes of play involve Speed Chuzzle, where the player has a time limit, Zen Chuzzle, where there is no score or time and is played to relax,[3] and Mind Bender Chuzzle, where the player must match the board with a preset pattern.
Various trophies are awarded to the player for certain accomplishments in the game. Examples include 'Chuzzbomber', awarded for exploding 1,000 Super Chuzzles, and 'Speed Master', awarded for clearing levels in Speed Chuzzle without getting a lock.

Its playability is very high, because we'll only need the mouse to control all the game, something that the majority of 'Casual Gamers' will surely be grateful for. If we aren't quick enough eliminating the Chuzzles, they will end up blocked, and we won't be able to change their position, thus making it even more difficult to be able to complete a level.
- The demo allows us to play the game for one hour.
