PopCap Arcade Vol 1 - Xbox 360
PopCap Arcade Vol 1 is a retail collection of 4 Xbox Live Arcade games:*
AstroPop is an arcade puzzle game with similar gameplay to Magical Drop. The objective is to guide a space ship that stacks and shoots bricks. As the amount of bricks on top of the screen increases, you need to pop a target number of bricks with matching colors before the rows reach the bottom of the screen. By linking four bricks or more, you create chain reactions. To spice up the gameplay, there are special power-ups such as radial bombs, freeze bombs, column nukes and difficult obstacles such as toxic, steel and stone bricks.
Each of the four playable characters has a supar weapon that destroys all bricks on the screen. It can only be used after charging it. There are two playing modes: Classic with weapon upgrades and 32 levels per character and Survival in which you need to stay alive as long as possible.
Bejeweled 2 Deluxe is the enhanced, standalone version of the free online puzzle game of similar name. It builds on the original award-winning game, with the same basic objective of matching "jewels" in a grid by threes, by swapping adjacent jewels of different colors. Sharper graphics and more special effects improve the experience.
Also new to Bejeweled 2 are different play modes. There are "Classic" (no time limit, finite possible moves), "Action" (time limit, infinite moves), and "Endless" (no time limit, infinite moves) just for passing the time. Each mode has increasingly difficult levels. An additional "Puzzle" mode challenges the player with over 50 preset arrangements.
Bejeweled Blitz, the 60 second mode with unique power-ups, was also later added to the iPhone release of the game, where a player's score can then be uploaded to Facebook to compare with friends.
Survival of the quickest, strongest, and biggest in the deep-seas!
The player starts as a tiny fish trying to survive, but hunted, in an unknown underwater world full of killer predators. The player must collect power-ups and bonuses, avoid eating poisoned fish, bumping into mines or getting electrocuted. The player's goal is to eat their way up the food chain, all the way up to the Shark King, and become master of the deep-seas!
The game also shows a "Fun Fact" after each level, being a real life fact about sea creatures and plants, giving it the educational twist.
Zuma Deluxe is an Aztec-themed action puzzler. The goal: eliminate all the balls before they reach the skull. Balls roll down a track towards this skull and the player-controlled frog-shaped idol must shoot balls toward them to stop them, earning points. Using the mouse to rotate the frog and clicking to fire, the player needs to create rows of three or more of the same color balls to eliminate them.
The catch is that each track is shaped differently. Part of the track may block others so that if the track is filled with balls, the ones behind some may be unreachable. Fortunately, the player has up to four lives, a rarity in many puzzle games.
The game offers two different play modes: * Adventure Mode
The player must battle through multiple temples to find the secrets of the Zuma. In this "campaign mode", temples that have been defeated may be skipped by the player when the player continues the game via save game.
- Gauntlet Mode
The player must work the player's level up from Rabbit to Sun God. Levels used in this mode must first be unlocked from the Adventure Mode. Gauntlet Mode also offers 4 (four) additional play modes: Random, Specific, Practice, and Survival.
