The neopets puzzle adventure game was pretty uninspired. I hope that Galactrix clicks better with me.

cool

Dude, that demo had me all kinds of stoked. I'll definitely get this day 1

I'm lovin' it!!!  Hope they are putting it out on Wii sometime soon.  There was actually a bit more involved with this than there was with the original Puzzle Quest.  Definitely excited about it.

Meh. Not digging it. But I have been liking Neopets.

Might need to see this demoed on live first. I think a bit of this has to do with the clunky flash interface and it being crammed down into a lower resolution but it might be ok. Also might just be more to it than the demo lets on.

I loved it! But.... it's not comming to the psp? :S

Man, i'v had soo many hours with PQ on the psp. Nice platform for this kinda game. Oh well. I'll get it for my ps3 :)

Most enjoyable.  Kicks Hexic's little preloaded bitch ass.   *ahem*

Protip:  The direction that you swap the pieces determines the direction the remaining pieces will shift into place for the turn.  Once that lightbulb goes on it's a whole new level of strategy.

I like the shield pieces.  Not being able to replenish health was a drag in PQ.  Also the amazing cascading combos are back, but now it's 5 in a row that get you the free turn.

I tried this Flash demo earlier and I didn't really enjoy the game...though I wasn't exactly sure what I was doing either.

I actually liked it, curse you PQ! I kicked the habit once now your trying to pull me back in... and I think it worked.

Galactrix is uninteresting to you because you burned yourself out on Puzzle Quest. The same reason why GTA4 isn't what hardcore players of San Andreas expected/wanted.

I'm still enjoying it but having difficulty adjusting to some of the new mechanics.  I don't understand why 5 pieces matched in a row is 5-of-a-kind, but 5 pieces matched in a criss-cross or angle bracket shape is only considered 4-of-a-kind.  Glitch, maybe?  FWIW there is a glitch—it says using the Trident Laser doesn't end your turn, but it does.

Guess I'll wait to see the XBLA demo before making a final decision.  I definitely need to see these issues addressed before I put down the money for the game; hopefully these things become known to Infinite Interactive and they explain the logic behind them, that is, if we're not simply discussing easily-overlooked glitches.

I liked it. I think the subtle changes they made over PQ (like requiring a 5 piece combo rather than a 4 for extra turns) made a big improvement. I may just give this one a shot.

I'm not liking that demo.  I'll just go back to plain old Puzzle Quest.  That game is still addictive to me.

Wait... how is this game not ready, yet?  I played it at PAX 2008 and it seemed A-OK.  Bring it on.

YaY.

I like that you can control the flow of pieces, but there seem to be a few tweaks still necessary, just in this limited version, as far as I can tell.

How'd you find out about the demo, Ryan?  Did they issue a press release?

I never got into the original Puzzle Quest but since this involves space i'm a little more intrigued.  I'm geussin it'll be more fun when you know all the rules and know what the bonuses do.

Anyone manage to beat the demo?  I can hold out for a while but i always get wiped.

This game is going to destroy my life. I've easily put over a hundred hours into PuzzleQuest.

I loved Puzzle Quest....I am very excited. i really enjoyed this little flash teaser!

I've beaten it, but I have about a 50-50 win/loss ratio.  The latest criticism I have of it is that due to the fact that pieces can come in from any side, it is nigh impossible to prevent or guard against random mine matches from occurring when new pieces populate the playfield.  In PQ, you could at least recognize the threat of skulls near the top of the screen, and work to either match them yourself or scatter them.  Now, mines on the playfield are sitting there waiting to be activated by whoever is luckiest, since there is no way to move them into a safe area.

Is this going to be on PSN

I loved Puzzle Question.  I'm trying the demo right now.

Eh. It's a game.

After playing it some more I've found that the game still has the same key flaw as PQ, over-reliance on random chance. The odds of winning at this game are tied so closely to the random chance of the tiles that strategy almost feels cursory, perhaps even more so this time around. Not my idea of a good time...

the flash demo has me completely jonesing for the real game now.  bring it on!!

"Just put a little icon on the side of the screen that the blocks will fall from. I just need some indication of what I am doing."
