Banana Breakers

Title: Banana Breakers

Genre: Word Puzzle

Completion Time: Easy mode takes me 1-2 minutes to complete--longer before I got the hang of it.

Jayisgames.com described Banana Breakers as "Mastermind Meets Boggle," which is a fair assessment. You're trying to find words in the grid--but it has to be the words they're thinking of. You want to find as many words as you can, though, because that gives you clues about the key words.

Interesting:

Very clever and novel concept, incorporating components from both verbal and nonverbal puzzles. In retrospect the idea seems obvious, which is always an impressive feat. 5/5

Fun:

The idea is incredibly well-executed, with an easy-to-use interface (try typing instead of clicking) and many ways to kick-start your thinking if you get stuck. The three difficulty levels range from "fluid mental warm-up" to "I really have to sit there and rack my brain." Nearly infinite replay value so far. 5/5

Moving:

Okay, apparently I lied in the last post. I'm a sucker for a good puzzle game, emotional content or no. 0/5

A wonderful distraction, whether you're looking for light mental exercise or a real challenge. Will probably be one of my go-tos for quite some time.
