A Mystery Dungeon dressed in the Puyo Puyo universe, it hides a pitiless roguelike logic behind its candy colors: generated floors, death that wipes your progress and resources to conserve at all times. Reading the terrain, managing your inventory and fleeing at the right moment outweigh fighting. Cute but tricky, it traps those who think it harmless and rewards tacticians.
