Puyo Puyo (AKA Puyo Pop outside of Japan) is a venerable puzzle game originally released in 1991 in arcades. Pieces drop from above a la Tetris and players must connect 4 contiguous pieces to for them to pop.
Gameplay
Puyo Puyo is a puzzle game with 2 players, although one may be controlled by the computer.
Pieces come down in pairs, sometimes of different colors. When players connect at least 4 pieces, they 'pop' those pieces, making them disappear. 2 pieces are 'connected' when they touch horizontally or vertically but not diagonally. Pieces that were above the popped pieces then fall down to fill the void created. The falling pieces can then create a connection of 4 similar colored pieces, thus causing a chain.
When the player successfully 'pops' pieces, they send 'garbage' pieces are the opposing player, falling from random columns. The more pieces in a pop and the longer the chain, the more pieces are sent. These garbage pieces are uncolored and do not chain but if they are adjacent (again, vertically or horizontally but not diagonally) to a popped colored piece, then they also disappear.
The player that hits the top of the well, loses.
