This review on MSX blue with bonus : the SCC musics of the game in MP3 format

This thinking game, released in 2002 by TeddyWareZ, has a big success in the MSX community, not only because its concept is pleasant but also because it was voluntarily removed from Internet after some months, as it's actually a pre-version of an official MSX port for a game published by Compile/Aiky on Game Boy Advance.

The goal of the game is the rebuilding of a matrix by placing bricks at the good location. To do that, you control a canon held by two ducks. Of course, some obstacles are waiting for you : the gray solid bricks can't be moved to another location, the white bricks must be replaced by green bricks and your time to resolve the puzzle is limited.

There are also red bricks : they are not placed at the good location, but can be useful to progress and put green bricks. In the same way, you need sometimes to remove green bricks to find a passage and solve the puzzle. So, you need to learn all a logical system to become a guru and that explains the name of the game !

The 50 puzzles are regrouped in 5 levels of 10 stages and you are free to solve these 10 stages in the order of your choice. The stage selector is also a good opportunity to rest a little ! You will also there find an option to make a maximum of 3 internal savegames.

To stimulate the gamers, brilliant SCC musics are making the game very nice. Besides, there's a level editor. The TeddyWareZ team has really made a great work ! We are therefore very curious to see some day the official version, whose only a demo is available on the CD-ROM of the ASCII MSX MAGAZINE 2004.
