About this game

This is a classic drop and match puyo game. Colorful mean beans were drop down and merged with ones with same color. When the number of merged beans reach 4, a magical explosion will appear. Super explosion will appear when the much number exceeds 4. You can even try chained combo which means one explosion caused by another.
If the drop block reaches the top of the play board, the game will be failed.
There are 2 modes in the game:
1 Solo Mode. There will be a target number for each colored existing beans. After all the target number of beans were eliminated, the stage is cleared.
2 Dual Mode. There will be an AI competitor to play with you. Chained explosions will make the garbage beans appear in the competitor’s play board. The player who persevere to the last will win the game.

Ratings and reviews

So I see a lot of positive and negative feedback about this game, and I do agree with most of it. This game is pretty much Puyo Puyo but on mobile. However, the controls are not the best, and yeah, the AI scales incredibly hard in dual mode, much faster than I anticipated. Considering I did PPT2 and did decently well in it, the difficulty was welcome, but it is understandable that it will be difficult for others. I definitely recommend adding button controls. Not bad overall.

There's problems of certain colors not registering when popped, but other than that: It's a 3-star collecting game based on the Puyo Puyo/Madou Monogatari franchise. They were also released under the titles of Kirby's Avalanche/Dr. Robotnick's Mean Bean Machine. If you like any of those games, you'll probably find this a good work around for a mobile version.

The game is alright. Definitely needs a lot of things added. 2 most important things I would suggest are tips or tutorials and much easier bots. I'm on level 4 and the bots went from brain dead to sending me 4 or 5 chains. Plus, the game speeds up so its hard to learn when the puyos are coming faster than I can think. So I think that should be another option to turn off the speed up feature. But overall, it works for a puyo game
