Matcheroo is a match three puzzle game with some nice physics-based features used up by YoudaGames.

The rules are simple:
- Move the gems with your mouse and match at least 3 of the same colors together to let them disappear and win the level.
- Move the gates by dragging the gems to them in the right direction. Every next level there will be a new little challenge and if you mess up, just restart the level.

Z-Rox is a really innovative brain/puzzle by Smart-Kit. This online Flash Puzzle game starts off easy, and then gets difficult, very difficult!

Z-Rox asks you to identify a given letter, number, shape, or symbol but all it shows you is a single line cross-section as it moves from top to bottom–like a copying machine. There are 100 different brain puzzles currently for Z-Rox.

Some important notes from the creator, Evil-Dog:
- Don’t forget, it can be anything, letters, numbers, shapes, symbols, objects.
- Answers are in English and can be words, not just keyboard keys.
- Pay attention to the tutorial
- Solve the puzzles with friends when it's too hard
- Sleep on it when you can't find the answer and try again with a fresh brain.
- Drawing helps understanding what you see.

Fuzzle is a classic, highly addictive puzzle game, that is both simple yet challenging.

Move the balls around the board to create lines of five balls of the same color. Every time you finish a row, the balls are removed. But after every other move you make, more balls are added.

Additional to the plain colored balls, two special balls are provided - the rainbow ball, which serves as any colour, and the bomb ball, which clear all balls of the line's color from the board. Use these wisely in your quest to survive as long as possible.

With fast game play, smooth graphics, and intuitive tap-handling - making the selection+moving of the stones fast+easy - this game will keep you entertained for hours. Here is a video explaining Fuzzle. [via candycaneapps]

At A Cleverly-Titled Logic Puzzle Blog you can find a lot of Pearls Of Wishdom Puzzles which looks a bit like Slitherlink.

The rules are simple:
1. Draw a single loop that connects the grid cells. The loop may only travel horizontally or vertically, and never diagonally (so all turns are of 90 degrees). The loop may only turn at the centers of grid cells. The loop may not cross itself or branch off; in other words, the interior of the loop will be a single polygon.
2. The loop must pass through every pearl (circle) on the grid.
3. The loop MAY NOT turn at a white pearl, but MUST turn at ONE or BOTH of the adjacent cells in the loop.
4. The loop MUST turn at a black pearl, but MAY NOT turn at EITHER of the adjacent cells in the loop.

Happy Puzzling !

The latest Rubik's is called Rubik's Mirror Blocks and looks more like a piece of art than a puzzle.

The first time I saw Rubik's Mirror Blocks I thought this can not work with the asymetrical blocks, but it does. Personally I really like the looks of Rubik's Mirror Blocks, has the same size and works as far as I can see from the video Rubik's Mirror Blocks Review at YouTube exactly the same as the original Rubik's cube. Rubik's Mirror Blocks is at this moment only available in Japan and I can not wait till it's available in Europe (luckily a friend of mine is on holiday in Japan, and of course I asked him to bring one Rubik's Mirror Cube for me !

Via The Missing Docs .Net I found a very nice Slitherlink Puzzle Generator.

The program is called LoopDeLoop and is a generic implementation of Slitherlink (also known as LoopDeLoop and Kwontom) loops puzzle game. It has a multi player mode and support for non-standard grids (Square, Square Symmetric, Triangle, Hexagon, Pentagon and Octagon). You can also select the size you would like for your Slitherlink grid.
