Popcap with a $1M title? That must be high wages they pay their coders :P

It’s like they had a meeting…

suit 1 : “We need to make some more money off bored housewives, and quick”
suit 2 : “What was our most popular game?”
Beancounter : “Well Bejewled was”
suit 2 : “Well, we need to make something just like it but with a bit of a twist, that will sell millions!”
suit 1 : “I have a cunning plan, lets redo the game but instead of sliding the blocks … lets twist them!, Bejewled with a twist … it’s brilliant.”

Millions incoming …

Excellent, I’m gonna wait and get it with my Big Fish Games Jumbo Subscription Credit, I love getting casual games for 8 dollars ^^ Just the waiting is killing me, tho…but I waited for Peggle Nights that way, too.

Surely the point of “indie” games like this is that they don’t cost millions to make…

…using indie in the most loose sense here.

Zuma is better.

Actually, no it isn’t.

Yeah, but I bet it cost millions to make, so I’m glad they made a return on their investments.

incase you were wondering
25,000,000 * whatever it cost = a lot of money

(and yes, I realise that Peggle is just Pachinko with knobs on and that Bejeweled is basically turn-based Columns anyway, but at least they were created from the ground up; bolting part of another game onto your exisiting title seems a tad lazy)

Rather than swapping adjacent jewels, you now rotate squares of four clockwise.

Where do they get their ideas from? That’s a decidedly unique game mechanic and not at all like Hexic!
