Now, I’m not exactly in the iPhone-toting 14-year-old girl target demographic for this kind of game, but the concept struck me as really original: players adopt the role of artsy, nerdy, rebellious, or slacker high school students, and employ either flattery or abuse to curry loyalty from a variety of cliques. The tactics you use depend entirely on which blocks you pair up in the puzzle game that comprises the bulk of play. You get new powers and particular bonuses depending on your character, but crossing that with a highly-recognizable Bejeweled-style puzzle makes for a neat mix – if you’ve played Puzzle Quest at all, this might seem familiar. Mean Girls is based on the movie of the same name from 2004, starring Lindsay Lohan and Tina Fey, and should be available soon in the iPhone App Store for $0.99.
If you’re looking for something a little manlier, holing up in a bunker versus zombie Nazis is always an option.
