Released in 1994 by Face and SNK for the Neo Geo arcade system, Gururin is a unique action-puzzle game that tests your spatial awareness. Instead of directly moving falling pieces like in a traditional block-dropper, you control the board itself, spinning the playfield to rearrange a troupe of characters in colored suits to score points.
The objective is to match three or more characters wearing the same color. Use the standard browser arcade controls: press Shift (or 5) to insert a coin and Enter (or 1) to start. Use the Z and X keys to rotate the entire playfield left or right, causing gravity to pull the characters into new positions to form matches.
Since the entire board rotates, plan your moves carefullyโa single spin will shift every character simultaneously, which can either set up a massive chain reaction or ruin an incoming combo. Keep an eye on the layout of the pit to predict exactly where everyone will land before you commit to a rotation.
