Puyo Puyo Tetris

Puyo Puyo Tetris is a Puzzle game developed and published by Sega for the Nintendo 3DS. It was released exclusively in Japan on February 06, 2014, and was translated to English by Partyderp64. The game is a crossover between the Puyo Puyo series and the Tetris franchise and features various gameplay modes incorporating both aspects. The game includes human characters modeled and named after the seven Tetrominos, which are different puzzle pieces each made of four blocks.

Puyo Puyo Tetris centers around the combination of two main gameplay styles, Puyo and Tetris. In the Puyo Puyo style, colored blobs known as Puyos will fall from the top of the screen and can be rotated before being placed down. The Puyos can be popped by matching four or more of the same color next to each other. By carefully arranging the Puyos, players can perform chain combos in which additional Puyos are matched and popped as they fall into place, earning more points as a result.

The Tetris style, on the other hand, has players placing shaped blocks known as Tetrominos down on the playing field. Successfully filling a complete horizontal line of blocks on the field will make it disappear, and additional points can be earned by clearing multiple lines at once. In Puyo style, the game ends if a Puyo reaches the X mark. In Tetris style, the game ends if Tetrominos pile up over the top of the playing field.
