News: Bees, honey and puzzles.

With console gamers having to look elsewhere for their puzzle fix, PC games and handhelds are picking up the slack. And with Tetris DS shipping any minute now they are proving to be more than up to the task.

But if you need more puzzling play than that, there's another puzzle title releasing today, Beezzle.

Beezzle asks its players to help build up a beehive through two modes: Puzzle and Action.

From the publisher:
Each stage consists of a honeycomb packed with different colors of nectar. In Beezzle's brain-teasing Puzzle Mode, you must turn one or more pupae into adult workers by guiding them to the honey they need to grow. You help the young insects reach the wholesome nourishment by swapping them with adjacent nectar drops and creating matches of three or more objects of the same color.

In Beezzle's mouth-watering Action Mode, you must first create and then gather a specific number of honey candies. As you match drops of nectar, a status bar fills with honey. When it's full, you create a piece of candy that must be included in a match before times runs out.

Beezzle is available exclusively as a download through its publisher, Alawar.com. The site also includes screenshots and a demo.
