21 APRIL 2010 LEAMINGTON SPA, UK Blitz 1UP, an initiative run by UK developer Blitz Arcade, have today released three of their top indie titles on Steam. Mole Control, KrissX, and Fluttabyes are all now available with a 20% discount and can be bought at the following locations:

Developed by indie studio Red Chain Games, Fluttabyes is a fun, quirky take on a Match 3 game. Easy to pick up and play, yet deeply addictive, the aim of Fluttabyes is to help the butterflies fly away by matching four or more of the same colour. The game is gorgeous and cute, with sunny countryside summer settings in a unique and colourful art style. For screenshots go here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/32483062@N08/sets/72157622617170874/

Help Wordsworth the Owl on his mission to solve jumbled word puzzles by following clues and swapping letters around.

Mole Control, developed by Remode Studios, is an addictive puzzle game that brings the classic logic-based game play of minesweeper into the 21st century. Pilot a crazy invention across a mind-bending adventure to unlock the mystery behind the runaway moles, or enjoy a frantic time attack challenge in the village mole control competition! Enhance this brain teasing experience using ‘supermole’ power-ups through six zones and over 35 randomly populated, totally re-playable levels - all with the comical aim to rid one town of exploding moles!
