Puzzle De Pon R is a 1997 arcade puzzle game developed by Visco. Playing similarly to classic bubble shooters, this fast-paced Neo Geo release tasks you with matching colored bubbles to free the central target shape in each stage, rather than simply clearing the entire screen. With challenging Zodiac-themed levels, it offers an engaging twist on the familiar color-matching formula.
How to play
Your objective is to shoot colored bubbles upwards, matching three or more of the same color to clear them. To win a stage, you must clear the bubbles surrounding the level’s central target (the Zodiac sign or item) so that it drops. As an arcade game, it uses standard coin-op controls: use the joystick (arrow keys) to aim your shooter, and the main action button (Z, X, or A) to fire bubbles.
Tips
- Focus on the bubbles immediately surrounding the target shape. You only need to drop the central target to win the stage, so ignore unnecessary bubbles on the sides.
- Use the walls to bounce your shots into hard-to-reach angles, which is essential for hitting specific structural weak points in later levels.
