Despite being a mix of two things I wasn&#8217;t that keen on &#8211; puzzles and fantasy RPGs &#8211; I found I couldn&#8217;t put it down. The story was pretty basic, but gaining abilities and the feeling of relief at beating the generic fantasy opponents was palpable, while defeat was crushing.<\/p>\n<p>Worryingly, the sequel Galactrix is on its way. Worse still, Infinite Interactive have put a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.playpuzzlequestgalactrix.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">flash demo up for you to try<\/a>. The new game features the same mix of puzzle and role playing, but has a slightly different puzzle dynamic and a new futuristic setting.<\/p>\n<p>The demo is only one level, and shouldn&#8217;t take too much effort to beat, but it gives you a good idea of the game. Swap blocks around to create lines of three or more to destroy them. Different colors give you different abilities &#8211; a row of mines will damage your opponent, or red blocks charge your laser &#8211; to help you attack and defend during the puzzle powered battles.<\/p>\n<p>I think this sequel looks even better than the original &#8211; the new gravity affected mechanics haven&#8217;t diminished its addictive qualities at all. There&#8217;s no release date yet for the game, which is coming out on all major format, but it&#8217;s expected in the next couple of months.
