Cross Bejeweled with an RPG, and this is what you get!

Very addicting, and very challenging - the AI, of course, plays almost perfectly. It does get really lucky at times, but I find that most often, it’s because of my own stupidity.

Playing a Druid, at Normal with no time limit; subsequent playthroughs will add levels of difficulty.

But I don’t know what to do about the Emperor’s daughter! Do I take her to her wedding, or take her bribe?!? I don’t know what to doooooooooooooo!

Anyway, hard to find, but fun! Anyone else playing?

Do you have a link? Online game or you do you buy it from a store?

It’s PSP/Nintendo DS only right now - the best way to get it is probably online from a major retailer. The game-specific ones are probably best.

[Here’s a screen that links to screenshots and packaging on RPGamer.com.](http://www.rpgamer.com/games/other/multi/puzzleq/puzzleq.html)

PS: I’ve decided to decline the princess’s bribe and take her to her $&#% wedding. It pains me, but either decision would probably do that. 😛

I picked this up after playing the demo – **Miss Purl** , there is a PC demo version. Characters are limited to level 7, but fortunately I didn’t discover the demo (or even the existence of the game) until late last week, so I was able to run down to the store and pick it up. There is apparently a bug in the PSP version that causes the companion abilities to not work, but it’s not storyline-affecting, so I’ll live with it.
