Game Overview

Pocket Puyo Puyo Sun (Japan) is the Game Boy Color version of that weirdly satisfying blob-matching madness—except now it’s got this whole sun gimmick that can either save you or wreck you, depending on how badly you messed up your last move. The colors pop way more than you’d expect from a tiny screen, and the little character voices (even in Japanese) somehow make it even funnier when you accidentally set up a 10-chain for your opponent.

It’s still the same chaotic, "how did I lose just now?" energy as the original, but with this weirdly strategic layer where you’re constantly eyeing the sun gauge like it’s a ticking bomb. Matches get ridiculous fast—one second you’re barely surviving, the next you’re dropping a perfectly timed sunburst that floods their side with garbage blobs. If you’ve ever yelled at a puzzle game, this one’s got that same dangerous "one more round" pull.

Also, the AI opponents are weirdly expressive for pixelated sprites. I still hate that smug onion guy.
