Popcap's newest puzzle game I'd be swearing at the little things if they weren't so cute! Okay, that's what I thought until I played on speed mode, then I did start swearing.
Caution: very addictive. Limit to 1 hour sample playtime w/o buying game.

Oooo, I likes it!
Final score: Mary 124260!
It has me as the highest score on there. Can that be right?
Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :
You're the highest score on your copy. All the other names a pre-loaded, not actual players. That is higher than mine though, so I tip my hat to you.
I'm rather hooked on unlocking trophies. I have 6 so far.

Enigmatic, I hate you.
I stopped a bit short of my hour, because my eyes were starting to cross.
Who knew blowing up tribbles could be so much fun?
Posted by Portabello (Member # 7710) on :
We only got one trophy -- triple combo. How do we get others?
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
There's also a trophy for getting some number at once. I think it was 8.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
I will NOT spend $20 on this time-sucker. I will NOT!!!
*whines* . . . but I wanna finish my game. It let me continue, but I only had two minutes left. Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :
thanks for the warning rivka, it makes you buy it to finish your game?
*resists*
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
You only get one hour of free play. If you finish your game in that time, then no.
I was apparently pretty good at it, and was still racking up points at the one hour mark (somewhere in excess of 145,000 I think).

You should die for showing me that, you know....
Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :
I warned you all it was highly addictive and only 1 hour of free play on the sample. I did pay the $20 to officially buy it, but partly because I play so many of the free popcap games I feel like I should support them a bit. Yeah, that's it. It's not at all because I'm addicted.
Trophies: You can see how to get all the trophies by clicking on the Trophy Room and then holding your mouse over the empty trophy spots. Some of the ones I got were for things like not using hints, breaking 3 locks in one move, 7 chuzzles in one group. About half of them I wasn't exactly trying for, I just got from a good move.
And to everyone who's upset with me for showing them this game: MWUA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!

That's my brother! Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
And when will the two of you be in the same place next? Preferably in the same small area -- let's say 10 square feet or so?

Um, at Episode III on Friday. But Mommy will be there, too!

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
have you tried luxor? it's kind of like zuma, but with crazier patterns and the little shooter thing is at the bottom instead of in the middle. If you get it from games.yahoo.com, you have the hour and (as far as I know), 5 minutes of play everytime you launch the game. So if you're addicted, you still get those 5 minutes!
Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :
If the three of us williamses sit in consecutive seats at the theater will we pop like little balls of fluff, leaving only eyeballs behind? Oh noes!
I don't like yahoo games. I don't like playing a puzzle for only 5 minutes at a time. I used to do all my puzzling in Puzzle Pirates, which was great. But then there were fallings-out in my crew and there got to be a lot of politics and nonsense so I haven't been a pirate in months.

If only this were a RealPlayer game... then I could get it for free next month with my membership...

217,135, don't know what level, and I'm not timed out yet....
(edit) now I timed out on game 2, round 5, about 20,000 points

Well, FINE. Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :
Sorry, Rivka!
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Actually, it was the combination of you and Tom.
And I'm not actually upset -- just a tad ego-punctured. It's good for me. Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
Ok, this may be just me but they are strangely unsettling. Especially the big ones. i get this distinct icky feeling. Not quite nauseating, but almost.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
No comment....

I personally felt bad exploding the white ones... Felt like I was killing a cross between Albert Einstein and Pac-Man.
Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :
lol
I'm almost tempted...
Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
Is there anyway to avoid locks on classic mode or are they just put there to annoy the heck out of the players?
Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :
You mainly get locks when you're doing a bunch of small moves, like only popping 3 instead of larger groups or combos. As levels progress, locks appear more often. So the first few levels you could clear only by doing 3-pops and maybe only get 1 or 2 locks, but around level 10 or so you'll get locks almost every time you do a move that's only 3 or 4 chuzzles.
So to avoid locks: big moves, big combos.

By far the most satisfying part are all the little hairs floating around after a particularly large explosion.
Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :
YES!!!! I loved the fuzzits drifting around.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Google "chuzzle" and you will find several other sites that will let you download a one-hour trial. YahooGames among them.
*bleary and cross-eyed* I think that's a good thing . . .
Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :
hey, I'm at work! I get a new hour!!! (if I can get the boss to leave me alone that long, that is...)
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
*laugh* Yes, when I'm at work on Sunday, I have every intention of staying an extra hour after I'm done catching up to play Chuzzle. Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chuzzle Deluxe is now available through RealPlayer!!! I can get it free next month when I get my next GamePass credit!!
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Enigmatic, I hate you.
And I now own Chuzzle, which I paid $0 for. Free 30 day trial of RealArcade.
Must remember to cancel that within the month. Probably next week, to be safe.
Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :
and a new wooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooo! I'm now on a new month on RealArcade... time to license and unlock Chuzzle!!!!!
p.s. Rivka, did you remember to cancel your membership?
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
No, I want to download it to one other computer I use first. Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Is that the one with the annoying music? Hmmmm...
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
LOL! Yes.
Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :
So... anyone else still playing this? The "collection" aspect of the trophy room roped me in. Now I have all the trophies except the one for popping a million chuzzles and the trophy for having all the other trophies. My high score is 536,410.

Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
Enigmatic,
"We admitted we were powerless over chuzzles - that our lives had become unmanageable."
The first step is admitting that you have an addiction problem.
It's a hard road, but there are support groups. Good luck.
Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :
This is funny... I was going to come bump this thread to report that my daughter (who's 11) has discovered ways to torture chuzzles... only to find that you guys already bumped!!!
i recently lost my trophy room, though, because I did a full system wipe and rebuild. But that also meant that I could knock Heather off the top scores list! heeeheeeeeeheeeee

Yes. And I still hate you.
Posted by kezza900 (Member # 8900) on :
Has anybody got the 1000,000 chuzzles trophy?? I have popped and popped on the zen level and my points are just over 1000,000 !! how many do they want !!
Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :
Not I. I do still play this, but not very often and not for more than 1 or 2 games at a time. Considering how long it took to get the 100,000 I'm probably still a ways from the 1,000,000.

Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :
I'm afraid to download it. Is it addictive like Snood?
-pH
Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :
Very addictive... and now I need to see how many I've popped.
Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
Aww this was one of the first threads I posted in when I joined Hatrack.
Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :
Kojabu, that gives me a warm fuzzy. And makes me want to pop it!
pH, download it. It's not at all addictive. Ignore the thread title.
Now that I'm home, I can check my high scores. Classic: 536,410 Speed: 289,160

You can also play it for free online without downloading. It isn't the 'deluxe edition' but if you're not worried about saving your high score or getting trophies, it's cheap, and there's no limit to how long you can play.
