DynaMate (Puzzle) by Flavor  This might as well be known as the precursor to PerfectFit, as the game engine is nearly identical and both complement each other well as different types of puzzle game. The premise of the game is to remove all coloured blocks (where have I heard that before?), by moving one into another, but the blocks will only clear if the correct colour is moved into it. A helpful chart next to the playfield illustrates this and is the same for all levels, making it easy to remember. To make things more difficult, some blocks cannot be moved, some blocks change the colour as they pass through, and you must never let them go off the screen or you must restart the level. Various other block types will be encountered as you progress, but you will have to work them out as you find them. The beauty of this game is the feel of it and the flexibility, holding button A on a block and moving it will move the block and leave the cursor where it is, but use button B and the cursor will move with the block making it easier to shift it around the screen in several movements, and there's no panic about failing a level as you will be able to restart it even if you reboot. The game comes with it's own level editor which allows anyone to create levels or modify existing ones and share them with the community, although I don't see anyone doing this, probably because the built in levels are so taxing that you will be counting the days getting through them! At first you might be disoriented with the rules of this game, but if you like puzzle games even slightly, then you must not ignore this one, it's a true gem, and I think it has been rather underrated in the past.
