Opinion:
Puzzlejuice is an interesting puzzle game.

Its like playing Tetris, except simply filling in lines is just half of the game.  Once you fill a line, or have more than 3 blocks of the same color touching you can turn them into letters, and after that you have to spell a 3+ letter word in order to blow up the blocks.

There are always challenges to strive for. For example, form a 5 letter word, or clear 10 lines.  And after completing these challenges you unlock powerups. The first two you unlock are a bomb and freeze ray. The bomb will blow up all nearby tiles, and the freeze ray will stop the Tetris shape from falling for a while, so that you have some time to think about the next move.

Puzzlejuice is great about its sense of humor. With things like Hard mode being called "Euro Select Mode" and the Exit button being called "Rage Quit" the game keeps you smiling as you dominate the playing field.

Surprisingly addictive Puzzlejuice is a great way to pass time while in line or on the toilet. Integration of your score into GameCenter makes it even more intense, as you battle with your friends for the number one slot. Currently 1.99$ on the App store, Puzzlejuice is worth checking out for those that like Tetris and word searches, those two have never been combined in this way.
