Mawaskes: A close up look at the Odd Tetris-like Game

Posted on Apr 7, 2009 05:08:21 PM

The game Mawaskes on the PSP is developed by Irem. The game resembles the Tetris game, though an odd version of it and it is a simple and engaging puzzle fighter. Here the blocks hit the bottom and fall and you are required to rotate them.

Though the blocks are of the same size, there are different shapes on them. Most of them open about one, two or three blocks for linking, somewhat like Tetris Evolution. As a player you have to link the outline of the shape in order to enclose the shape. This is possible by rotating the blocks.

This game from developer Irem takes a bit of time to get used to but it is quite easy to get the hang of it. There are basically three shapes you work with. However, there is no limit on the size of the shapes that the player can make. In fact, you can even make a shape the size of the entire playing field.

There will not be enough time to do this though as you will be barraged with piles of blocks rained on you constantly. This game features various modes. The classic battle mode is where you play against another player or the computer. Here you create blocks and send it to your opponent.

In another multiplayer mode, two players try their best to manipulate a certain field. Your aim is to make the biggest and best shapes. In this mode it is in your best interest to keep the shapes simple so it is easy to complete before the opponent steals it.

Though the whole game process sounds complicated, it is actually not so. Once you start playing the game, it is quite simple and easy to master. This game at present is available in Japan. There is however no news of its release in other parts of the world. Being just a puzzle game, there should not be any language issues. Mawaskes is an interesting game that should do well anywhere in the world. Enjoy playing the interesting Mawaskes puzzle for hours either on your own or with your friends on your favourite PlayStation Portable.
