The Nintendo DS puzzle game assault shows no sign of letting up: next up is a game called Actionloop, an effort which should appeal to devotees of Tetris DS, Meteos and their ilk.

Scheduled to launch in Europe on October 27, Actionloop places coloured gemstones on looping, moving tracks; you have to flick them off with the stylus, by aligning three or more of the same colour, and causing chain reactions.

Actionloop has four game modes. Challenge is the most Tetris-like: you must eliminate as many as possible before they reach the end of the track, and the more you get rid of, the faster the track moves. In Quest mode, you have to eliminate a set number of gemstones. Checkmate mode brings static puzzles to the party, and Versus mode pits you against a friend in a gemstone flick-off. The game will come bundled with the DS Rumble. Sounds flicking great.
