News: Popular puzzler goes the Game Boy route.

Atlus has announced they are bringing the GBA sequel of the popular DS puzzler Polarium, Polarium Advance, to the US this November.

Polarium Advance takes the "black and white" tile puzzles of Polarium and adds a dash of color while porting the stylus controls to the control pad.

Polarium Advance will feature 365 tile-based puzzles (including three new tile types, Hurdle, Solid, and Joker, not seen in the original Polarium) and three modes of play:

Daily Polarium Mode - Players can use this mode to have a new puzzle set up every day for an entire year, guaranteeing the game to last for at least 12 months! Players can also try to solve 365 puzzles at their own leisure; each time a player solves a puzzle, they unlock a new one! Meet all puzzle solving requirements to earn a gold medal!

Time Attack Mode - Challenges players to complete a set number of puzzles within the shortest time possible. There are two difficulty settings allowing players to compete against the clock and improve their ranking!

Edit Mode - A creative mode allowing players to be the architects! An inventive challenge for any gamer to imagine and construct their own puzzlesЕ up to 100 different choices! Players can send their new creations to their friends to test their skills too!

Polarium Advance has been rated E for Everyone.
