Frazzled - Atari 2600

If you like fast-action puzzle games, you'll love FRAZZLED! Help Snuggy the Unicorn bounce around the hyperspace trampoline park, matching patterns that appear above him. He can change the color of any square he wants, but there's a catch - changing one square also changes all the squares around him.

You'll have power ups to help you, bonus apples to boost your score, and enemies to dodge as you race against the clock. Multiple game modes and difficulty settings help keep the fun going for players of all skill levels.

But no matter how you play it, it won't take you long to figure out why this game is called FRAZZLED!

Gameplay

Frazzled is an action-puzzle game where you control Snuggy the Unicorn, bouncing around a grid of trampolines, trying to match the pattern on the grid above him. Use your joystick to move Snuggy around the board, and press the button to change the color of your square. You have to plan your moves carefully though, as changing the square you’re on also changes any squares that touch one of the sides of your square. Blinking squares are wild cards, and will always match.

Frazzled features three modes. In Arcade Mode, you must complete a number of puzzles within a time limit. Successfully doing so awards points, but failing to do so accumulates penalties. Accumulate 50 penalties, and it’s game over! Pick up power-ups and bonus apples, and avoid the enemies; but feel free to stomp on Mr. Grumpy while he’s growling! Doing so will allow you to change just one box at a time for a few seconds!

In Time Rush mode, you choose how many rounds you’d like to complete – from one to nine – then try to complete them as fast as possible. There will be no enemies or bonus items to distract you, it’s just you and the board. Get through the puzzles as quickly as possible and set the best time you can!

Practice Mode is where most players should probably start. No enemies, no bonus items, no clock. Take your time hopping around the board and playing with the puzzles. When you’re ready to try another mode, hold the button down for a few seconds, and you’ll return to the title screen.
