Starring Hello Kitty and other classic characters, this 1993 falling-block puzzle game for the NES was developed by Character Soft and released exclusively in Japan. It plays similarly to Columns, tasking you with matching colourful falling candies to clear the board.
The objective is to align three or more matching candies vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. As pieces drop from the top of the screen, you can cycle the order of the characters in the column to set up combos and prevent the screen from filling up. Use the Arrow Keys to move the falling pieces, Z/X to cycle the characters, and Enter/Shift for Start/Select.
Between certain stages, the game challenges you with a sliding tile mini-game. While completing these puzzles within the time limit yields bonus points, failing them won’t end your game, so you can focus primarily on surviving the main puzzle mode.
