XBLA: Gel: Set & Match Announced - Match 3 In This Puzzle Action Game

We previously revealed Gastronaut Studio's upcoming title through the Australian classification website, but now they've made it official - Gel: Set & Match is making its way to the Xbox Live Arcade, and we have the latest screenshots.

Gel is the spiritual successor to Fuzzee Fever, Gastronaut's first title and one of the only 27 titles released for the Xbox Live Arcade for the original Xbox. The original game is quite an obscure title, but played much like a puzzle variant of Bomberman with a pinch of Adventures Of Lolo - you could fight in a square grid and play for top points in a times game, or have a game where you could throw bombs at your opponents, but only if you matched 3 "presents" together.

Gel appears to be expanding on that formula with 3 modes - puzzle mode has you complete challenges, action mode features you removing debris from the path of your tank, and battle mode, which looks to be similar to the the original's multiplayer modes.

The original game didn't get much of a chance on the original Xbox, but now with a new name and new modes they're going to give it another go. Check out more screens and artwork below.
