nihongo|"Guru Logi Champ"|ぐるロジチャンプ|gururojichanpu is a puzzle game by the Japanese developer Compile. The game was released in 2001 for the Game Boy Advance handheld game system. "Guru Logi" is an abbreviation of "Guru-guru Logic", "guru-guru" (ぐるぐる) being Japanese onomatopoeia for a rotating motion.

The game's story mode sees the Champs, small yellow bird-like creatures who attempt to help the inhabitants of their neighbourhood out of various troubles. To do so, they must complete a series of logic puzzles.

Each stage requires the player to complete an image by placing and removing blocks on the board. The puzzles are set up so that there is no simple solution; often the player is blocked by other immovable areas and so must improvise a solution by constantly constructing and deconstructing their own barriers. The board itself may be rotated so that the player can construct the solution from all four sides. An additional Battle Mode exists in which two players must race to finish puzzles in the fastest time. Battle mode requires a Game Link Cable and only one game pak cartridge [ [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n10/sw2001/softlist/gba/gruroji/ Nintendo page about Guru Logi Champ] ] .

The game itself is best compared to "Picross" and "Magical Drop". Similar to "Picross", a board consisting of a set of blocks creates an image. Similar to "Magical Drop", gameplay involves throwing blocks vertically into the play area and sucking them back off again.

A port to the MSX2 is currently under development by TNI [ [http://www.tni.nl/projects.html TNI projects] ] .
