Well, lots of casual games tend to be addicting by nature, and that's why they become successful. However, in the world of Flash games and 2D puzzlers from PopCap Games, MumboJumbo made quite a ruckus too. Some of you might be able to recall a certain side-scrolling shooter for the PC some time ago that got quite a lot of gamers addicted: Platypus.

For those who haven't encountered it before (shame!), one curious thing about this game is that its graphics are claymation-based. Kinda like Skull Monkeys only, umm, more colorful?

Well, the PSP version was released almost a month back now and some of you might have missed it. Today, MumboJumbo has released a couple of screenshots for the PSP version. It's not much different from that of the PC, but hey, who could resist. Having this game on the go in your handheld could potentially blast away those idle hours in the train.

utter rubbish

graphics change imperceptibly from level to level and do not make the most of the claymation technique. the baddies are as predictable as their attack waves. sound is as crap as the rubbish weapon upgrades. even if this is budget i wouldn't waste my time, rather play r-type than this poor man's copy.
