Wind and Water: Puzzle Battles for Dreamcast is officially released!

(Note: This is NOT a review. I just want to get the word out)

It's a good day for Dreamcast fans today. The german publisher redspotgames officially released it's latest Dreamcast title Wind and Water: Puzzle Battle.

I'm guessing that about 90% of you don't know anything about the game. It's basically a puzzle game that has a similiar concept as Hexic HD. But not quite. What you have to do is rotate blocks of different colours to make 4 of them form a "diamond". These blocks then disappear and take any blocks touching with the same colour with them. To better understand, watch this video:

It shows the intro of the game and part of the story mode.

As most puzzle games, it's highly addictive. It has a massive story mode, complete with a Super Mario Brother 3 style world map. And if you eventually beat that, just get a friend to play the VS mode with you. Or play the time trail modes. Or try to master the different combo styles. In other words, there a lot to do in this game.

More info can be found here: [url]www.wind-water.net[/url]

Got you interested in the game? Just head over to the publishers online shop ([url]www.redspotgames.com/shop[/url]) and order a copy for the low low price of US$35.25 (without shipping).

$35.25 for a homebrew DC puzzle game? That sounds stupid to me.
3r0t1c n3rd's Destructoid Blog
It's not really homebrew. The production value is way higher.

Can't wait to get my copy of this game. It's been a long time since I've had a really good fast puzzle-based game (Ahh, the long nights of Magical Drop 3 bouts...)

Brought up my Dreamcast from home just for this very reason. Now if only it will get here.
