Game Groups > Puyo Puyo variants

Games with the style of gameplay introduced by Puyo Puyo. Falling blocks consisting of two coloured blob are rotated and dropped in order to create horizontal or vertical links of three or more blobs. An important point is the creation of chain reactions, where the removal of one link makes neighbouring blobs fall so that new links are created, and so on.

The concept was developed by Compile and licenced to many companies. After Compile's bankruptcy, the rights were taken over by Sega. Due to its simple gameplay, it has also been cloned without any licence by many amateur and shareware programmers.
