Play Columns III - Taiketsu! Columns World (Japan) Online
You stare down your opponent as gems pile up—every combo you land shoves junk blocks onto their side, turning a chill puzzle game into a frantic head-to-head brawl. The Japanese version cranks up the speed and throws in wild power-ups that’ll make you slam the reset button for one more round.
Game Overview
If you've ever played Columns and thought, "This needs more drama," Columns III is your answer. It's still that same gem-matching puzzle game at heart, but now every match feels like a duel—you're not just clearing blocks, you're actively sabotaging your opponent with every combo. The screen splits down the middle, and suddenly it's a race to see who can bury the other in cascading jewels first.
What I love is how chaotic it gets. One second you're carefully setting up a chain, the next you're panicking because your opponent just dumped a column of skull blocks onto your side. The Japanese version adds some wild power-ups and a speed that makes the original feel sluggish. It’s the kind of game where you’ll yell at the screen, then immediately demand a rematch.
Honestly, it’s the best version of Columns—if you can get your hands on it.
