Online demo of Puzzle Quest Galactrix stole my entire day away photo

[Gets e-mail from D3 Publisher about Puzzle Quest Galactrix online demo]
“Awesome!”

“I guess I should post this on Dtoid.”

All you Puzzle Quest fans are in for a treat today. D3 Publisher has put up a demo of Puzzle Quest Galactrix online. Just head on over to the official Puzzle Quest Web site and you can try out a level of Galactrix.

I know there were a number of you who had concerns over the new gravity system based on our past previews on Galactrix. I'm pretty sure that once you try out the demo, though, all your concerns will be put to rest.

When you’re playing, make sure to always keep an eye on the bombs. The computer will always go for them before making any other moves. Don’t forget to use your weapons such as the laser, shields and bombs. Red pieces fill up your lasers, blue gives you shields and yellow ... I forgot what yellow does. Let me double-check.

... “Why is the editor window still open?"

DAMMIT, D3! YOU’RE GOING TO STEAL MY LIFE WITH GALACTRIX!

Very fun. Still unsure of how the whole gravity thing works, but I beat the comp once or twice.

I'm not going to think about this until I finish the first puzzle quest, meaning I'll probably get to the party sometime around 2016, but I'm enthusiastic anyway:).

It was all broken and glitchy when I played. I didn't get extra turns when I was supposed to D:

Gravity moves in the direction that you moved the piece. Example: Move a piece to the right to clear 3 or more > Pieces move right to fill the gap left behind.

found some weird issues with the demo, if you cast a spell and make a move quick enough it will count before the computer goes. also some blank spots with no gems in them and the game stops working sometimes.

wish there was more than just the gameplay. wanted to see the ships and items and menus and stuff

four in a row doesn't count as an extra turn anymore, only 5 in a row and once in a while when it flashes "super nova" on the screen....but i have no idea what that means or how to get it

Cool! I always wanted to try a PQ. I feel like I'm choosing moves at random and there is little skill involved on my part but why in gods name is it still so addictive.
