Tetris-like puzzle game needs fast reactions
Tumblebugs is a fast-paced, simple but highly addictive game by Bigfishgames. It combines the elements of puzzle and physics-based games to create a game that makes best use of players' problem-solving ability and reactions. Coupled with cute gameplay and graphics, this makes for a game that can potentially waste hours of productive time!
Gameplay
In Tumblebugs, the bugs have been taken prisoner by the bugs of the Black Bug Empire and the bugs are being tumbled towards the Empire's hole by guard bugs. The player controls Tumble, who fires coloured bugs from his back; when three bugs of the same colour come together they are freed, occasionally starting a chain reaction that frees more. Certain bugs contain powerups such as the ability to fire over other bugs, a rewind that pushes the bugs back against their captor, and stop, which temporarily pauses the bugs. Some bugs have letters on their backs to spell the word 'EXTRA', which gains the player an extra life. There are two game modes: story and trial. Story mode contains 12 levels with an expanding plot, and once the levels have been unlocked, players can compete against the clock to stay alive as long as possible in trial mode.
Conclusion
Tumblebugs is an addictive game with simple but fun gameplay. While there is little depth to the game, it makes for a great time-killer, and the powerups add to the playability.

One of the most interesting games I have ever played, but I cannot download it even though I have been trying to do it for over a year! Help, please!

I have never been this addicted and crazy in a game but Tumblebugs turn me into one. The missions and puzzles that it has is so exciting and challenging that it really gives me satisfaction whenever I complete it. It's has an average looking graphics design but that could be overlooked because of its amazing game play. More

I think Tumblebugs is the most favorite puzzle games during my youth. I remember that this game even became one of the hottest topic in our town. If you don't know anything about this game during those days, you are definitely outdated. I hope they could revive this game again because I would be one of the people who would download it first.
