Overview

The object of the Puyo Puyo is to beat your opponent in a battle by filling their grid up to the top with garbage. Puyos, cute little gelatinous creatures with eyes, regularly fall from the top of the screen in a pair. The pair of Puyo can be moved left and right and rotated clockwise and counterclockwise 90°. The pair drops until one puyo falls onto another puyo or the bottom of the screen, following the rules of gravity. The pair then breaks, so the other puyo(s) free fall until they fall to rest onto another puyo or the bottom of the screen...

Gameplay

There are three main styles of gameplay in Puyo Puyo: Single Puyo Puyo, Double Puyo Puyo and Endless Puyo Puyo which is similar to the others except that it goes on, forever...

Single Puyo Puyo

In this game, you take on the role of Arle Nadja, a 16 year old female spellcaster that has the pleasure of foiling Satan's plans. Satan wishes to take over the world, and Arle stands in his way (as the games series develops, the plots get even more twisted). Arle must first however battle her way through 12 opponents before facing Satan, and unlike Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, with the exception of Rulue, they are not under Satan's control, nor were they created by him (for Rulue, she was brainwashed by Satan due to her own reasons). Once Arle has beaten Satan, the world is saved, so she can return home.

Double Puyo Puyo

In this mode, you play against a human player. In exactly the same fashion as before, you see who the stronger player is by outchaining one another. Many people complained that the rules of sending so much garbage made games short-lived, no matter how many chains you sent, so to make the game more interesting, in Puyo Puyo Tsu and onwards, Compile added the rule of Sousai. Sousai enables players to counter opponents attacks with chains of their own, sending any garbage back to them as a result of overflow.
