Crumb Review
Many Gamezebo readers will remember the old "parking puzzle" games, such as Carm Jam, where the goal is for your car to reach the exit by first moving objects around vertically or horizontally in the right order. This concept now gets a fantasy twist in Reflexive's Crumb, a story about searching for the Forest Mother through an enchanted world during four seasons.
Build in Time Review
Have you ever wished you could travel back in time? Einstein believed that space is curved and time is relative, so time travel is theoretically possible... at least if you plan on traveling to the future. Build in Time takes you in the other direction, where you build your way through six decades of styles and trends from 1950 to 2009. The theme developers from juke boxes and flower power, to disco and leg warmers, straight into the Internet Age and modern life.
Airport Mania: First Flight Review
I could never do an air traffic controller's job - imagine the stress of having to schedule the flight paths of hundreds of giant flying pieces of metal so that they don't crash into each other, run out of fuel, or get behind schedule. South Winds Games and Reflexive figured out the fact that all this coordinating and juggling could make a decent time management game, and as it turns out, they were right.
The Great Tree Review
To call The Great Tree an anomaly would be an understatement. Combining New Age mysticism with arcade-style, mouse-thrashing mayhem, it's a formula that, by all rights, shouldn't work. However, created under the loving auspices of Reflexive Entertainment (Big Kahuna Reef, Ricochet Infinity) and featuring stunning visuals by the same artist as Wik: Fable of Souls, the game's sure to leave you enchanted nonetheless.
The Great Tree Preview
If you stop by the offices of Reflexive Software this month, chances are you'll see someone unloading cleaning supplies. That's because they're putting the final coat of polish on The Great Tree, a new casual offering that combines the visual style of Reflexive's own Monarch: The Butterfly King with the star-collecting action of Neon Wars from Blitwise.
Ricochet Infinity Review
By all accounts, Ricochet Infinity - despite being the follow-up to a hugely-popular series which also includes Ricochet Lost Worlds, Ricochet Lost Worlds: Recharged and Ricochet Xtreme - shouldn't work. But what truly amazes and astounds about the title the more you play into it isn't just the staggering variety of bonuses, stages and special effects offered. It's also the brilliant execution with which the entire package is delivered, helping tie together any lose ends, and win even the most jaded player over with its singular sense of atmosphere and intensity.
Ricochet Infinity Preview
Get ready for one of the most wildly frenetic "Breakout" games ever released: Ricochet Infinity from Reflexive Entertainment is poised to redefine the "brick breaking" genre with incredible 3-D graphics, imaginative levels, awesome power-ups and virtually limitless replayability.
Monarch: The Butterfly King Review
Gamers need not know the difference between a Lepidoptera and larva to have fun with Monarch the Butterfly King, the latest 3-in-a-row swapping game that challenges you to help the hapless monarch rescue his friends from the clutches of a mysterious wizard.
