Boogie Bunnies has little to do with dancing or bunnies, it seems. This game is titled entirely by the random ideas used to cover up the fact that it’s a by-the-numbers puzzle game for the Live Arcade service. But no matter how predictable, a good puzzle game is a good puzzle game. So is this a good puzzle game? Read on.

In Boogie Bunnies, your little furry friends march inexorably down the screen towards some sort of imminent doom. Your job is to launch a colored bunny into groups of like-colored bunnies, creating groups of at least three. Groups of three or more will cheer and disappear, keeping them from suffering a grisly- but no doubt cute- bunny death.
