Game Boy adaptation of Puyo Puyo Tsuu. Chain and offset mechanics perfectly preserved, link-cable versus mode. More austere than the arcade or MD versions, but pure puzzle works in monochrome. For competitive portable puzzle fans, a smart buy. Minor in presentation, major in gameplay.

Fun
"From the very first seconds"
Lining up four blobs of the same colour to set off devastating chains: feeling a cascade ripple out remains one of competitive puzzling's most delicious thrills. The counter system, deeper here, turns every duel into a cunning tug-of-war. Colourful and fiercely tense, it hooks from the very first chain.
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Stacking puyos by color, triggering a chain and burying your opponent under the blocks delivers a rush you immediately want to relive. The versus mode loops the round endlessly and the difficulty steps up with each win. The small screen sometimes hampers readability, but the thrill of big chains stays an unstoppable reason to restart.
