Training Simulations: KooZac

Square Enix, Inc., the publisher of SQUARE ENIX® interactive entertainment products in the Americas, today announces it has acquired the license for the award-winning puzzle game KooZac™, and will soon be bringing a brand new smartphone and tablet version of the game to iOS® and Android® devices.

Described by the BBC as “the ultimate in brain training” and “utterly addictive”, KooZac is an immersive puzzle game devised by Ben Cusack which has racked up 15 million plays online and picked up a “Best International Interactive Viral” award. With the original concept created following years of research into what makes an evergreen puzzle game, Square Enix recently moved to acquire the KooZac license, and also hired Ben Cusack in the process to head up its expanding mobile division.

“It’s hugely exciting to know the new version has the publishing and marketing support of Square Enix behind it,” comments Ben Cusack, creator of KooZac and Head of Mobile, Square Enix Ltd. “On a personal and professional level I look forward to taking KooZac to a much wider audience via the forthcoming Smartphone and tablet versions.”

The concept of KooZac is simple: position the falling blocks on top of each other to hit the target number and complete the set amount of combinations to finish each level. KooZac has proven to be a compelling game that appeals to gamers of all levels, and has been played in over 150 countries.

The fully updated and reimagined Smartphone and tablet version contains three game modes, brand-new graphics and a simple user interface that take KooZac to a whole new level.
