Is this one made by Intelligent Systems? Some parts look a lot like Pullblox.

 

Yeah it does, the backgrounds in particular. They did all the other MvsDK games I'd assume they are.

 

The EU title didn't include the subtitle which is slightly interesting.

For NA, but we'll likely get it around the same time

Test your puzzle solving skills in this spin-off of the Mario vs. Donkey Kong™ series. Use tiles to create the best path through each level. The main game contains over 180 levels, across four different puzzle modes. Although each mode has a slightly different style of play, they all share the same goal: get the Minis to the star!

 

Take a break from the main game to challenge high scores in four unlockable minigames. Feeling creative? Try your hand at building your own puzzles with an easy-to-use level builder. Once you're done you can play your puzzles and even share them with other players around the world. Access new levels created by fellow users, and save up to an additional 100 puzzles! Plenty of surprises await you in this rich action-puzzle game.

Initial impressions are this has lots of classic Mario charm to it, from the graphics to the tunes. Seems like there could be some depth to it as well, already feel like there is plenty to do and unlock, and the level create could be quite fun! Though yet to work out if possible to send/find friends levels or just search the entire database. Anyone else picking this up? Thought I saw @londragon having a dabble on my friends list earlier...

Been playing this for a bit now. I really like it! It's much more fun than the DS MvsDK games :D

 

The puzzles are more interesting, the levels are nice and short (certainly nowhere near as overwhelming as the DS games) and there's plenty of gameplay variety on offer with the 4 main modes of play. The minigames are just throwaways, but they're decent little distractions for when you want to take a break from the main modes and like the main game, they're all very nice and polished.

 

Yeah it's a ripoff of Pipe Mania, but it's a very good ripoff of Pipe Mania with plenty of interesting twists of its own! (and certainly much more fun than the Lemmings clones on DS!)

 

Recommended to anyone who likes a good cerebral workout :)

I certainly did sir. If you like puzzle games, then this is a must. I've only played through the first 10 levels, the 4 mini-games once each, and opened the 2nd single-player mode, but it sure holds a lot of content to unlock. And my son loves the mini-shooting games, especially the block 'rubick's cube' burst thing.

 

My top tip, the Mini only starts to move after you put the tile into the first position next to warp pipe. If you place blocks anywhere else around the level then he will wait for you as he can't yet move. This way you can place some of the route down before he moves leaving less stress. But watch the clock.

Are there no cut scenes in this one? I found the voices funny in the previous games.

 

Game is pretty tough, failed a few times already because I let the tiles build up and ran out of room. Mostly because it wouldn't give me a tile I needed. :mad: Seems to have a few mechanics to make things more interesting (such as creating a loop to get the coins + time).

 

Think I prefer the Peach games so far as that one gives you a set number of tiles to complete the course with.

Yeah I agree, as pathetic as it sounds am finding these just a bit easier to do, getting me in tune for the other stuff, so enjoying more at the mo. Completed up to level 25 on the Mario main event though, really enjoying the overall package of this game so far, plenty of classic tunes to enjoy and it oozes charm!
