If you're a fan of puzzles and achievements, you've come to the right place ! *** All ZUP Games have cool Puzzles + Trading Cards + a lot of working achievments *** + Successes are letters in different colors that you can ideally use for profile design --> If you have the option, buy them all in a bundle to save money. You won't regret it

“Minimal physical puzzler with explosions” is how Zup! 3 is described on the Steam store page. And that description could not be more accurate. Zup! 3 is the third in a series of currently 18 released Zup games, at the time of writing this review. Developer/publisher Quiet River currently has no less than 29 games released on Steam, counting the Qop series with 4 titles and several smaller rogue titles, which are also from his hand. Important to know we are dealing with an more experienced developer, in this over-satured market of smaller puzzlers, always some streamlined quality should be expected. In these physics based series of smaller, short puzzle levels, more than total of 40 puzzles have to be completed in order of a succesful playthrough. Goal is to get the cue ball to a designated area, requiring a minimal amount of rudimentary input. Some elements can be clicked on and triggered to make an explosion with which you can manipulate the trajectory of the cue ball. Key is to calculate a way to get to the endpoint, mostly done by trial and error. Puzzles ramp up from tutorial style to somewhat harder difficulty. There is a large gap between the easiest and the hardest puzzles. At later stages in the game, more elements which influence the gameplay are being added. Still, even the last and hardest puzzles of the game are rather straightforward and somewhat easy to solve. They may require some skill and concentration, however, since there are some sequenced timings necessary. Background music is nothing special, as can be expected from such games in this genre. Sound effects are on par with the rest of the game and can give a trancelike rewarding feeling. A whopping 1708 achievements can be unlocked, easily achievable in about an hour or two. Which makes Zup! 3 excellently suited for achievement hunters and completionists. No grinding has to be done in order to unlock all of the achievements. All achievements can easily be unlocked in a single playthrough as well. Puzzles cannot be rushed or skipped, however, they are easy enough the player will maintain a good flow in progress. The unlocked achievements lend themselves excellently for use on your Steam profile page. To conclude: I enjoyed this game a bit, liking the smaller puzzle sizes, completing a few puzzles now and then, en-route to achieve another perfect game to add to my profile page... all this in a relaxing manner. The puzzle aspect is somewhat underdeveloped, however, puzzles most of the time are too easy and some require a whole lot of skill and timing. Main reason for me to purchase this title on a sale, were the easy achievements and perfect game. Once completed, this is a game i will not come back to again, however. Recommended for: casual, puzzle gamers, achievement hunters and completionists. Cheers, SultanK
