The gameplay features basic options primarily focused on control switching and an input test that feels outdated, reminiscent of arcade games. While the two-player mode allows for continuous play, the inclusion of voice samples lacks the charm of the original Puyo Puyo. However, the music is a highlight, blending remixes with new compositions that enhance the overall experience.
“And so, the main gameplay.”
“And music is totally rad, mostly being a combination of Puyo Puyo remixes and new compositions to fit the mechanical scheme.”
“Options just consist of controls switching, pointless input tests which feel more like arcade leftovers. The amount of max matches in 2-player versus is limited, although you can always just continue on the spot. The choice of whether to include voice samples in gameplay seems unnecessary, especially since it made more sense in the original Puyo Puyo, which featured voice announcing and anime girls' yells.”
“The gameplay feels lacking and unoriginal, with minimal options and repetitive mechanics that don't engage the player.”
“The gameplay is frustratingly simplistic, lacking depth and variety, making it hard to stay invested in the experience.”
