Gastronaut Studios, the folks most recently behind Small Arms, have got another game primed for Xbox LIVE Arcade, and it’s coming out next Wednesday. It’s a half puzzle, half action hybrid called Gel: Set & Match (800 Microsoft Points).
Having nothing but screenshots to go on, I’m going to try my best to guess how this game plays. It looks as if the thing on the left will slowly try to run you over, so you have to push colored blocks around into similar groups. Sounds simple enough, right?
Of course, I could be way off base here, so don’t be suprised when you follow my instructions on Wednesday only to be killed in the first ten seconds of Gel: Set & Match.
