What players say
poopoo chumps is my favorite game This is the pared down version of modern Puyo specifically for ladder play. The PC ladder is decently active, but if you want to play with the real gamers you need to also get the game on Switch. It's pretty cheap ($7-10 depending on the season) so it's worth owning one for each major platform you play.

spins you around 360 degrees left right front center like a 2-set yellow puyo that im about to place for a sandwich chain except i set it up wrong and you're going to get stuck in purgatory as you watch the rest of the puyo pieces pile up on top of you with no way of salvaging the chain. i lose
I'm a huge fan of Puyo Puyo. I knew what I was getting into buying this game (I mostly bought it to see the unique characters and officially play the Fever ruleset on PC with friends), but I'm still not fully satisfied with the options available. I wish I could give a mixed review. - This is a bare-bones Puyo game, trimmed down to the gameplay and nothing else. If you're looking for that, great! If you want to...
