Computer Puzzle Game emphasises on
puzzle solving. The types of puzzles
involved can involve logic, strategy,
pattern recognition, sequence solving,
word completion or, in some cases, just
pure luck. The gameplay is usually abstract
(but not always) often involving arranging
geometric shapes to fulfill some goal
or constraint. Often edge matching or
colour matching plays an important role.
Puzzle games usually strive to have a
pick-up-and-play accessibility to them
and to have an addictive quality. |

Some puzzle games feed the player a random assortment of blocks or pieces that they must organize in the correct manner (Tetris, Klax, Lumines), where others present a preset game board and/or pieces and challenge the player to solve the puzzle by achieving a goal (Bomberman, The Incredible Machine). Some of the games in the former category have a mode that plays like the latter. For example, in both Tetrisphere and Tetris Attack, there is an actual "puzzle mode" in which the player must clear a pre-defined board within a certain amount of moves. |
