GameZebo Review (4.5/5)

The atmospheric puzzle game will now only tax your brain, not your wallet. As the above review notes, their "par" scores are often too easy, but its great presentation and satisfying puzzles also come with Achievements, Leaderboards, and Cloud.

Does anybody know anything about this game?

Cool, I was waiting to see a deal on this ever since seeing Jonathan Blow make a blog post about it- http://braid-game.com/news/?p=681

I wish there was a kenken ds game. Something feels odd about playing this on my gaming computer (52")

This game seems to keep things fresh and avoids some of the monotony of Sudoku.

20,000 puzzles + 21 achievements = bought for $2.50.

For $2.50 I'm in.

They use KenKen as a base, but EG:SL also includes variations. I haven't seen them all, but I know there are at least "even" and "odd" clues (all numbers in that area are even or odd) and greater than/less than clues, as in Futoshiki puzzles.

After having played this for a couple hours straight, forcing myself to quit for the evening, I can safely say... great game!

Production values are high, it's packed with an unbelievable amount of puzzles and the price is right.

wow, downloaded the demo..This is quality stuff. Especially for 2.50

Interesting game. It will definitely be good for some slow evenings at home.

This game is going to ruin my productivity at work.

Nice little game for $2.50, though. Definitely more than worth it at that price.

Played the first few worlds over my lunch break. Overall, I am very pleased with the game. The achievements seem a bit insane in some parts, ie 100 puzzles in a row without mistake. It encourages you to solve them so fast that I accidentally clicked the wrong number on one and screwed up my streak. I hope it keeps track over multiple times playing.

After playing the demo I instantly bought it. Thanks OP!

For me, that achievement makes me much more wary in inputting an answer rather than rushing through it since there's no timer involved in it. If you mess up, it just resets the progress, so you have ample opportunity to get it. I messed mines up the first time the Even/Odd cages showed up because I didn't read the instruction properly. You can actually replay puzzles to rack up the streak from what I've seen.

This game is fun!
