Mixem Deluxe is a fast-paced pc puzzle game developed by Mooktown Games released in 2006.[1] It can be played for free online at pjio[2], and can be purchased for a number of mobile platforms.[3] The game was originally a mobile phone game, winning 3rd Place in the Samsung Game Developer Competition 2005,[4] created by Mooktown Games that was later adapted to windows based pc's with the PopCap Games Framework by BinaryGraffitti. Sound effects and music were created by Lava Injection

The game was reviewed by Bytten [5] and received a Silver Star Award. It was initially a commercial title but was later offered for free, possibly due to poor sales.[citation needed]

Quoted from the mooktown.com news archive [6] dated 24th July 2007:

The other indie dev whom had helped me in porting mixem from mophun to java and then to windows has decided to make the game available as freeware from his site which means I no longer need to host the file here or need to be trying to sell the game here either! Certainly makes things a little easier for me!

[edit] Gameplay

The game is a simple Tetris Attack derivative with the added twist of needing to mix the colors of the blocks before being able to match them in a typical match-3 fashion. Full rows of blocks can also be removed with the use of a power-up in the form of 'lava heads' down the side of the screen.

An on-screen avatar wearing a Tiki style mask guides you through the challenges put forth. The main game mode is quite short in play time but there is an endless mode included for extra play.
