Anyone play Chuzzle on the iPhone? I'm just starting it. It's a Popcap game, and guess what? I got these goodies from them. They're Chuzzles which sort of look like Puyo Puyo characters. The game is different, and this isn't a review, but this post is a giveaway via Twitter. "giantroboteric" I'll tweet a trivia question at around 3pm PST. Answer it first and I'll send these to you free.
