Twistingo Review

Pretty much everyone who delves into the land of puzzle games has come across Zuma, the terribly addictive PopCap game that's even found it's way onto restaurant tabletops. At first glance, Twistingo looks very much like Zuma, from the chain of colored spheres to the hungry demon awaiting at the end to swallow them all up.

However, there is one major difference...

Zuma actually requires skill.

There is some thought and planning to Zuma, however, BINGO is most decidedly NOT a game that requires careful strategy. Because of this, the majority of the time is spent right-clicking to advance the line of "bingo balls" and staring at your given bingo card.

While I understand that this is the nature of bingo, this game takes out the ONLY aspect of bingo that makes it so terribly addictive...the competition.

Bingo is exciting because you are racing against a crowd of other people all trying to get to the finish line first. And it's heart-wracking to hear each number called out, not knowing if it was going to take you one step closer to victory, or if it'll give someone across the room their final piece.

Twistingo doesn't have that. It is wretchedly slow-paced and quite often it's possible to fail without ever being within your control. (Perhaps I'm just unlucky but it's happened twice within the past 10 minutes.)

All in all, Twistingo a time-waster at best, but at a lofty $17.95 price point, don't even bother.
