Chocolate and Puzzles, What Could Be Better?

Chocolate Castle is an interesting puzzle game. The developer decided to combine a puzzle game and chocolate. There are four different kinds of chocolate that need to be eaten and four different little animals that eat each kind of chocolate.

The puzzle type game comes into play when the animals eat the chocolate. After the animals eat their chocolate they are gone from the screen. You need to group all of the chocolate colors together and make them touch each other for the animal to eat the entire chocolate color. There is a catch, once you group the chocolate pieces together into a bigger group you can not take them apart. There is a redo and an undo in the game so if you make a mistake you can easily fix it.

As the levels progress of course they get harder. There are different obstacles that are in the way of you grouping the chocolate together. The animals are also surrounded by a different color chocolate than they eat so you need to free them before they can eat their chocolate.

The graphics are from 1985 and the time of the Nintendo Entertainment System. The graphics may be older, but they definitely fit the game and do not seem out of place at all.

I only downloaded the demo and played the first four levels, but I can definitely see this game getting addicting. If you like puzzle games, you should check out Chocolate Castle.

Check out what some other people on the web are saying:

It’s such a delightfully simple concept that can lead to some extremely fiendish puzzle play and if you’re a puzzle game fan I suspect this should be in your “must-have” collection. Apart from the huge number of puzzles it appears to come with there is also a level editor which should extend its play life too.”

“All the elements are in and perfect. There are a small set of different puzzle elements, but each one greatly expands the possibilities, all of which are explored over the course of 120 levels.”
- Mike Hommel
