Go! Puzzle is a puzzle video game developed by British developers Zoonami and Cohort Studios and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable.

Gameplay

Go! Puzzle is made of three separate puzzle games - Swizzleblocks, Aquatica and Skyscraper.[1]

Swizzleblocks

In Swizzleblocks, the player must use a reticle to flip connected blocks to match four of the same color to clear the screen.[2] Power-ups can be used to assist, and the game features up to four players in local multiplayer.

Aquatica

Aquatica takes a Puzzle Bobble-esque approach, with the player needing to connect together same-colored 'sea mines', and not let the screen fill up with them.

Skyscraper

The player is an astronaut in Skyscraper, tasked with moving from one side of a building to the other before ascending to the next floor. A level of strategy is involved, as the player must decide which path is best.

Reception

Go! Puzzle received mixed reviews from critics.[3] Many chose Skyscraper as the standout game, with GameSpot noting that "you'll fail over and over before you move on to the next level, but it's enjoyable enough that you won't mind repeating levels." Eurogamer noted that Go! Puzzle's graphics look 'fine', but the game lacks personality.
