What's the scoop on this one, is it a swapping game?

What's the scoop on this one, is it a swapping game?

I'm about to check it out after breakfast; I'll share what I find.

The whole game can be found here:

But yeah, let's see what the WW version is like.

I could see this being pretty fun, actually. Worldwinner's message board says that it's a Match-3 game, which I immediately groaned at thinking it was yet another Bejeweled/SwapIt/PIR/Chuzzle, but it's not like that at all.

The goal of the game is to break the gems on the board by matching (thus removing) the colored balls underneath the gem, making the gem fall. Strategy plays a huge role in this game, and on some boards, if you mess one thing up, you're done. To that accord, it reminds me of Cubis a little.

Sounds are really good, and the design is really well-done and it looks pretty all around, but I have no clue what any of the game has to do with Zen Buddhism.

any idea when the game is going to be released?

[Renaldo Moon]

Games in Beta are usually released for cash games within a week after testing finishes-- So maybe the first week of October?
