Game Overview

Guruguru Garakutas is a Japan exclusive puzzle game for the Game Boy Color, released in 2000 and developed by KID. It arrived late in the handheld's life, offering a distinct visual style and a clever take on the block dropping genre that felt fresh among the platform's many puzzle offerings.

You control the falling of multi colored, segmented blocks, rotating them to form complete horizontal or vertical lines which then vanish. The main objective is to clear the board by matching these lines, with each stage introducing new block shapes and more complex patterns to solve. The pacing is methodical, demanding careful planning over quick reflexes, and the difficulty escalates steadily without becoming unfair. It feels satisfying to watch a well placed block cause a chain reaction and clear the screen.
