Time for some good old Thursday night puzzlin' in the form of Pixus. The idea is to draw lines of paint across the screen which float upwards, destroying similarly coloured blocks until the level is cleared. Some blocks are concealed behind other colours, so you'll need to eliminate them in order.

There's a short tutorial to explain better exactly what is going on. The game feels like it has a great concept behind it, but it maybe could have been pulled off a little better, as the slow pace does seem to hold back an idea which could be potentially brilliant fun. It's definitely still worth a try though, especially as there is a nifty level editor to have a play with too.

Give it a whirl at Pixusgame.com.

Great review.
While the game is good, there is something missing in the gameplay to make it more enjoyable.
Maybe it works better with stylus, DS anyone?.

Wow, that was very good! The game is a bit too easy at first but I can appreciate the learning curve.

@Lucaz: Yes! That's exactly what it's missing, the DS would be the perfect platform for something like this.
