## Description
‘Take A Break’s Puzzle Master’ is a collection of puzzles based on the British
puzzling magazine series. In the game players must solve a variety of puzzles
in order to beat the Puzzle Master (a little crown character who somehow
resembles a king) and achieve the Puzzle Master crown.
The puzzles consist of Crosswords, Arrowwords, Sudoku, Codebreakers,
Conundrums (anagram puzzles) and Picture Posers (only playable after winning a
trophy in Puzzle Master Mode and later playable in Freestyle Mode). When
starting each profile from scratch (or any time after), players can choose
their preferred puzzle preferences by sliding the stylus left or right for
each puzzle category shown on screen (Drag the icon right to the puzzles you
like to play best).
The game includes two modes: Puzzle Master Mode (where you must solve puzzles
within the allotted time in a sequence to earn a trophy until you reach the
Puzzle Master rank) and Freestyle (select any one of 6 puzzle categories to
play at any time, as well as getting a fair idea of what to expect in Puzzle
Master Mode).
Gameplay mainly utilises the Nintendo DS stylus where players can either drag
letters and numbers or just to tap them into the game’s keyboard layout.
Players can also choose to skip a puzzle if it is too difficult, as well as
using hints to help them if they get stuck (which also includes a time
penalty). The Puzzle Master himself guides players on what they need to do
throughout the puzzles.
