Overview
It's Puyo Puyo, but the blocks can stretch out for potential combosDero-n Dero Dero, is a tile-matching falling-block puzzle game developed and relased by Tecmo for arcades in Japan in 1995. It later received a Sony PlayStation release on December 29, 1995 and a Sega Saturn release on January 26, 1996, with the PS1 version receiving a North American release on September 1997 as Tecmo Stackers (or Tecmo Stackers: A Game of Chain Reactions).
Playing similar to Compile's Puyo Puyo series, Tecmo Stackers has players dropping pairs of gooey multi-colored "quads" on the 6×12 playfield in order to form matches of four or more quads of the same color, clearing them from the board. It features a unique twist where, on a clear, nearby quads temporarily extend themselves leftward and rightward to potentially match with other blobs and cause chain reactions (with combos extending their reach).
The home versions include three additional game modes ("Insane", "Time Trial", and "Chain Reaction"). The Japanese PS1 version was later digitally released as a PSone Classics title for the PlayStation Network on July 8, 2009.
