A brand new color-matching competitive puzzle game for the NES. Play against the AI or with a second player. Download the ROM and play in an emulator for two player mode.

How to play:

Normal Blocks

Normal Blocks do nothing on their own, but are the most common block that drops.

Bomb Blocks

Bomb blocks will explode every Normal Block that it is connected to and send Garbage Blocks over to your opponent's side.

Garbage Blocks

Garbage Blocks will count down every time you drop a block. Once it reaches zero it will turn into a Normal Block. If a Normal or Bomb block explodes next to a Garbage Block, the Garbage Block will also explode.

Super Bomb Block

The Super Bomb Block takes looks at the block directly below it and will destroy all blocks of the same color. The number of Garbage Blocks sent to the opponent will be only half as much.

I really dig this game.  

I'm not really clear however on what exactly selecting a pattern does.  Also, the garbage block mechanism needs some balancing attention.  One good combo and it's basically game over for your opponent.  Perhaps a little too punishing.  

Selecting a pattern decides what garbage blocks you will drop on your opponent.

You're right that it's very swingy, but that's something from Super Puzzle Fighter that I wanted to ensure was present in my version.

Thanks for playing!

Can you play with 2 humans?

Yes, you'll need to download the rom and play the game in an emulator.

Just press start on controller 2 on the Select Pattern screen.
