There's currently no scheduled release date for Gyromancer, but we've definitely had our fill of Puzzle Quest clones recently. Give it some time and, you know, something different. Then again, PopCap has a nasty habit of turning tired casual-gaming genres into gold.

You know it might just be because i haven't really played any pop caps games other then peggle and a little of Puzzle Quest so the nevelty hasn't worn out on me yet.
But it looks like a fun game.

You need to play Plants vs Zombies!

P vs Z? Really? A tower defense game?

Seriously, get PvZ!
My friend finally convinced me (there's a free demo btw on their site www.popcap.com) to download it and wow, such a fun game. I don't know why I ever even doubted pop cap in the first place... They've yet to disappoint me.

Mmm, this makes me hungry. I could go for a gyro...

Dang, beat me to it!
Man, I really need a gyro now.

Seeing how i never bought any of the Puzzle quest games (though ive wanted to)... can't say im tired of them lol. Ill probably pick this up when it hits state side.

Popcap just loves to steal my money!
*Goes back to playing plants vs. zombies*

Are you or were you really playing Plants vs zombies?

So the people that brought me FF and Chrono Trigger are making a game with the people that brought me Peggle and Plants Vs Zombies?
Just make this as an app for WoW and a large % of the population on earth will loose the will to even eat.

No PSN, not interested.

It's amazing that the world did not just stop spinning.
Miku @ Sep 24th 2009 2:27PM
Absolutely! Best 10 dollars I ever spent on a game, if you ask me. Not super difficult but it's fun, quirky and addictive. Wall-nut bowling ftw!

One of these days I will learn how to reply correctly, promise.

Can I pre-order XBLA games...?

i would love to play another GOOD puzzle rpg since galactrix was terrible

Looks like a glorified Puzzle Quest? I was hoping for Final Fantasy vs Zombies.

Who would win in a fight...Tall-Nut or a Monk (like Tifa)?
Fight!

Oh my the line between Casual and Hardcore gaming is starting to blur...or has blurred a LOT more.
Square and PopCap? I don't think I'll be seeing the light of day with this, Zuma Revenge, Plants vs Zombies, Final Fantasy VII, XII, & XIII...
Kiss my social life goodbye.

I disliked Bejewled Twist. Combining it with Puzzle Quest isn't enough to make me care

This is going to be like super crack to the gaming population.

Popcap didn't make PuzzleQuest -- Infinite Interactive did.
However, Popcap DID make the immensely entertaining Bookworm Adventures. If Square ever came out with a casual FF game as good, I'd be very happy.

Wow.. can definitely see the Puzzle Quest design elements all over it, but it looks AWESOME. Nice polish.
