People frequenting MSN Games will probably know Mozaki - a simple puzzler that is insanely amusing. Now, AstraWare has ported the game to WMS’s - can it stack up here?
Mozaki can be played in two modes - it supports both timed and untimed modes:
However, the game principle remains the same. Bricks appear randomly at the right side of the screen; they must then be moved onto the screen to create lines from the border to the center:
Tiles can be rotated on-screen with the 7 key:
If a line of matching colors is established, it disappears:
Ganging up tiles leads to cubes which are worth more points when being removed:
The tile at the bottom right provides with special tiles that are colorless(match all colors) or remove tiles around them:
Replayability is achieved due to the level system. After a few lanes are cleared, the colors at the borders are swapped(adjacent tiles also swap colors); eventually, new colors appear.
AstraWare included a little on-screen-help system - it proved to be extremely useful for me:
This review looked at version 1.02 of the game on a QTEK 8500 running its stock Windows Mobile 5. The program needs 1595KB of memory and can be run from an external memory card.
In the end, Mozaki is an excellent and amusing puzzler - but like many other games for Windows Mobile Standard, suffers from the lack of a touchscreen. Puzzle fans should definitely download the free trial from here - if you like it, get it for 9.95$ at the TamsShop!
