One of the best things about puzzle games is the Zen like state a player experiences, that special moment when he or she effortlessly drops blocks into place or lines up similarly colored gems like a pro. That's what Chillingo hopes to capture with Collision Effect, an upcoming iPhone and iPad game that sends you into space to manipulate energy balls called Zybbles, where the slightest mistake results in an explosion.

Chilligo are making huge waves in the mobile market place of late. Consistently pushing out solid, if not always spectacular (apart from Cut the Rope – OMFG!), titles for the millions of iPhone/Pad/Pod users out there.
This time they serve up a slice of puzzling action with a hint of the match-3 mechanics about it.
Games can always surprise you, but in the age of the smartphone there are three rules that, if broken at the start of a game, indicate that what follows is likely to be a total stinker.
For one, it's best to keep the controls simple, but diluting the challenge in pursuit of simplicity is a big no-no. Most importantly, you have to avoid overloading the game with a needlessly fussy set of rules
