Cranky Cat

Cranky Cat is a puzzle game based around rotating a wheel (or "crank") and matching 3+ colours to make balloons pop. The game itself works okay, but the concept, after 24 levels over 5 stages (120 odd levels) gets boring and trite. The worst part, however, is the soundtrack, which literally consists of 3-4 tracks which they play over... and over... and over... and over again. Incredibly annoying, I had to turn the volume to 0% just to ignore it. It took me 5 hours to complete the Story mode entirely. I looked at the puzzles, they seemed pretty easy but they looked more entertaining than the Story mode. This game would suit people who "like these sorts of games", people who enjoy Bejeweled, Peggled, Tetris etc, parents who don't play games often will possibly enjoy the simple puzzlesolving aspect, but may be driven genuinely insane by the "soundtrack".

Cranky Cat: Of Steamwork and Bubble Obscura

I JUST GET SO CRAZY WHEN PLAYING WITH KITTY CATS!

Красивая, понятная и затягивающая головоломка в стиле "стимпанк" с отличной, но в то же время однообразной музыкой и не очень удобным управлением, чем-то похожая на Zuma и Critical Mass. Включает режимы истории, паззла и бесконечного. Для победы необходимо уничтожить все цветные шарики с помощью падающих шаров соответствующих цветов. Сложность повышается по ходу прохождения, есть очень хардкорные уровни. Уровней очень много, и они существенно отличаются. Рекомендовано для смартфонов.

Cranky Cat is simple (if you know Puzzle Bobble/Bust-a-Move) - it's PB with the board rotating, rather than you aiming new bubbles. The big problem is that especially later on, a lot of the boards will feel identical, and if you're going for 3-stars, the RNG nature of each stage is going to become a pain because sometimes you get a good run, and sometimes it just won't give you that one bubble of the right color to clear a path to the last two. There's a Puzzle mode but it's hardly worth mentioning, because it comes down to "find the opening spot, rotate board appropriately to make all the bouncing pieces clear things". In fact, a huge part of why I find Cranky Cat kind of unfun stems from either a) gimmick boards where you can't blow up the biggest mass, or else the entire board will shift off-kilter and go out of bounds until you blow up two layers of bubbles, or b) reused boards over and over. I've seen one show up at least three times. It's not a classic game by any means, is all I'm saying. The formula has some kinks.

Why Suaig? Why?

This game was made by Satan and Hitler during WW2

A Bust-A-Move clone that is actually quite entertaining if you like these kinds of games. At release the game had serious issues with the controls, due to it being a phone game first, but the developer added alternative controls and a fix for color-blinds within 24 hours of it being mentioned on the forums. Also, I will never ever play level 5-21 again. Ever!

Cranky Cat offers a new twist on the marble-shooting, bust-a-move genre, and it does it well. Instead of firing spheres upward, they float in from the sides and slowly gravitate toward the center of the playing area. The player can (and has to) rotate the "board" to match the marbles. Three or more of the same color will remove them from the board, which then causes now loosened marbles to bounce off and gravitating back, which allows for quite spectacular and fireworks-like combinations. There are numerous special marbles, such as the traditional bombs, and power-ups, like those that remove all marbles of a specific color. The game includes hundreds of levels in the story mode, and it also features a variety of endless/random modes, with the "lightning" mode perhaps being the most enjoyable one. There are also Steam achievements and local highscores. The only feature I've been missing are Steam leaderboards, but this aside, this is a fairly enjoyable, fast-paced (at least deeper in the story mode and in Lightning) and smoothly running casual game (which can be quite hardcore). The developers have been very responsive to feature requests. Worth checking out, especially at the very inexpensive super-budget price.
