SUMMARY: A spiral take on Bust-a-Move for the iPhone

Puzzloop is a touch based puzzle game for the iPhone with many similarities to the very popular Bust-a-Move. The object of the game is to pop all the colored balls before they make it to the red zone that sits around your character. If you clear them, you'll advance to the next stage. If not, you're doomed to repeat the level.

The game play is very straight forward. The balls move around a spiraling railing that leads directly to you. You're equipped with a ball launcher that gets one different colored ball every time you shoot it. You can shoot those balls into space or directly at other balls to have them connect. Anytime you connect more than three balls, they exploded and let the line join up with out them. If more than two of the same color connect due to the ones you popped, they will pop as well.

There are other obstacles in the game as you get further into it. Creatures will block your shot and reflect the ball back at you. This can result in that ball ending up further in the line then you wanted it, with none of the same colors near it. This adds to the challenge of what looks like a simple game, but really isn't.

If you enjoy Bust-a-Move, you'll pretty much find yourself instantly hooked to Puzzloop. The learning curve is easy to master and it's definitely a pick up and play game as you can exit the game without even losing your spot.
