    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.

    With its fast-paced action, compelling use of the 3D effect, nearly 100 different levels to conquer and compelling multiplayer mode, this puzzle game is an absolutely stunning addition to the 3DS eShop.

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

    Not as intuitive as Pullblox or Tetris, but Speedthru: Potzols Puzzle is challenging and addictive. Every bit as fun as it is stressful.

    Don't let the somewhat bold price tag scare you. This is a fun, addictive, handheld title worthy of every single penny.

    Quick minds that are after a lengthy challenge of spatial conundrums will be well served with this value-for-money downloadable.

    SpeedThru is quite similar to ThruSpace with a graphical makeover, and can be cleared quite quickly and easily if you're not particularly interested in getting good scores. If you are, however, the game can last you quite a while, and for those who quite enjoyed its predecessor, the new level types are worth checking out.

    Even with its issues, Ketzal's Corridors is still a good eShop title. If you loved ThruSpace, this is more of that same gameplay. It's not quite on the same level as the top-tier eShop titles, but if you're looking for a good high-score game, Ketzal's Corridors is definitely worth your time and money.

    The concept of Potzol's Puzzle is pretty unique and works great on the 3DS. There are a lot of different game modes to explore but unfortunately it all comes down to the same thing: aiming blocks through holes in a wall. This can cause boredom after a while.

    This is one of those games that is excellent both in concept and implementation, a product that lets you have fun and be surprised while we test our abilities. A game apt for every public, although its difficulty might make some people step back. But those who like the formula will love the game.

    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.

    The sad fact is that it's simply too obtuse for its own good. [May 2012, p.105]

    A pure idea, rendered in 3D, but a little shallow. [June 2012, p.83]

    Speedthru's biggest mistake is being a mediocre puzzle game that's not addictive enough.

    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 gameWhat 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!… Full Review »
