I like puzzle games in which the player has to look into the future to see the proper courses of action. Not just doing the best thing in the current moment. Great puzzle game.

Dec. 2023

Its a fun game to play locally, or online with friends. It's relaxing similar to tetris to me. It's also nice to relax with at the end of the day as its thought provoking puzzles but not usually too hard.

ive been a fan of this game for a few years, and its probably one of my favorite games. it may not seem that interesting, but the characters and story are great, the gameplay is challenging, but fun. very comedic, and you can, indeed, play as a sausage. he is personally one of my favorite characters. i would recommend playing with a controller, as playing on the keyboard makes my hands hurt after a while, but maybe i just have a bad keyboard.

These puzzles are AGONIZINGLY difficult!!! But I did buy it for the multiplayer, which is super fast paced and fun no matter the mode.

I've long lamented the lack of new quality battle puzzle games in the vein of Tetris Attack and Meteos. Tumblestone's multiplayer mode is the first thing to scratch that itch for me since Planet Puzzle League came out on the DS all the way back in 2007. The game overall involves several stacks of colored stones (tumblestones) at the top of the screen and you need to "shoot" (for lack of a better word) 3 of the same-colored tumblestone in a row to clear them. You only have access to the first row of tumblestones so you need to avoid getting into a situation where you cannot get at three tumblestones of the same color. In multiplayer you have three modes. Puzzle Race involves up to four players trying to be the first to clear an identical board of tumblestones. If you get into a state where you cannot continue clearing the board, you need to reset and start again. In Battle the tumblestones slowly move downward. If the tumblestones hit the bottom, you are eliminated. If you find yourself in a state where you cannot get to three same-colored tumblestones in a row, you have no choice byt to make a "bad move" (where you shoot a tumblestone followed by a different-colored tumblestone) which causes the tumblestones to shift downwards several rows instantly. The goal is to be the last surviving player. Tug of War seems pretty similar to Puzzle Race, but involves multiple sections of smaller puzzles. There are also a variety of modifiers available for each mode that I haven't gotten the chance to play with yet. All of the modes require the player to balance speed with trying to plan ahead. Battle in particular is very compelling and evokes a similar feeling to other classic battle puzzle games while also providing a pretty refreshing take on a match-3 puzzle game. I should point out that for $9.99 you get only the multiplayer component. For an extra $14.99 you get a full single player campaign (you can upgrade at any time). If you're interested in the game primarily as a battle puzzle game, you should know that the campaign is not a series matches against bots like it is in some puzzle games, but is instead a series of predetermined puzzle boards for you to solve. I'm finding this pretty fun as well, but obviously it's a very different feel from the multiplayer mode. If it doesn't sound like your cup of tea, then you should stick to the base $9.99 multiplayer package.
