This morning saw the release of rolling puzzler Switchball and the word search inspired Word Puzzle.

Switchball sees players taking control of an ever-changing ball to solve clever puzzles and navigate through a series of beautiful labyrinthine mazes. The ball can morph into various forms including Metalball for ramming objects, Powerball to dash up ramps and jump over obstacles, Airball to float, and Marbleball for speedy rolling.

The game features five environments and also supports two-player co-op and eight-player competitive racing over Xbox LIVE.

Also released today is Word Puzzle, a new title which expands the traditional word search puzzle with 3D boards, exploding word bombs and a host of challenges and special effects. The game features five game modes, plus Xbox LIVE support for up to four-players and LIVE Vision camera integration.

Switchball and Word Puzzle are available now, each priced 800 Microsoft Points.
