Tweezzle Lite

Keep your eye on the birdie in this puzzle app for the iPhone and iPod touch

Grade: B | Age rating: 5+ | Price: FREE

Tweezzle Lite will delight fans of the addictive puzzle game Chuzzles—it’s the same concept.  In Tweezzle Lite, a flock of colored birds is blocking your kids view of a picture.

They drag the rows of birdies horizontally or vertically across the iPhone screen trying to line up three of a single color in a row.  This pops them, clearing the board.

What’s Hot:
Even in this free version, there are fun challenges.  The birds occasionally get shut inside birdcages (which locks that row so in both directions so that it can’t be moved) or come down with the bird flu (which can spread, duh).

What’s Not:
The little thermometers that appear in the birdies’ beaks to indicate they have bird flu look exactly (and I mean exactly) like cigarettes.  Family friendly fail.

The Bottom Line:
Fun and engaging.  Would be a lot better if the developers would figure out a better “sick” graphic.

We tested version 1.0, which is compatible with the iPhone (OS 2.2.1 or later) and the iPod touch (2nd generation). Developer Arjen van Rhijn. Read our disclosure policy.

   This app is not appropriate for kids! The little characters have cigarettes and profanity scrolls across the bottom of the screen.

   Profanity? Are you sure? As for those “cigarettes”, I think they’re thermometers (when the birds get sick). Did you see that we noted they look like cigarettes in our original review?
