  • Summary: Known as "SpeedThru: Potzol's Puzzle" in the UK/EU. The game offers a unique gameplay mechanic in an immersive 3D world where your skills of spatial awareness are put to the test across more than 90 stages, three multiplayer modes, and three different lands. The game is themed around a mystic world, where Kaotl, the evil god of destruction is your foe. In an act of malice, Kaotl has stolen the heart of Creatl, the god of creation, and divided the world into three lands. Guided by Creatl’s loyal servant Potzol, you must aim to restore the spirit world, destroyed by the wicked god Kaotl, by collecting hearts hidden away in each stage. Expand

    With almost a hundred levels and the constant drive to beat the high score on every one, the game demands an unrelenting combination of both brains and reflexes that is unmatched elsewhere on Nintendo eShop. Its difficulty may be high, but as with every puzzler, there's a solution: just add practice.
  2. Not as intuitive as Pullblox or Tetris, but Speedthru: Potzols Puzzle is challenging and addictive. Every bit as fun as it is stressful.

    It might not be the next Pushmo, but it's certainly a title that shouldn't be overlooked.

    SpeedThru is a game best experienced in short bursts, not least because the startling image depth may prove a strain for tired eyes. Still, this is further evidence of the eShop's relevance in the face of strong competition from Nintendo's peers.

    What an amazing experience! Once you get used to the controls, you won't be able to put Ketzal's Corridors down. The flying-and-rotating game play is easy to learn and hard to master. The 3D is used very effectively and looks great as you swoop through the walls. I only wish it were longer! To the powers that be, bring us DLC! Expand
  2. I just got this last night, and already I am hooked! It's an excellent mix of Tetris and racing. I highly recommend this game for all puzzle fans! A solid purchase. 9/10 Expand
