Play Puchi Carat Online

Puchi Carat is this weird little gem (pun intended) on the Game Boy Color that mashes up Breakout with RPG-style storytelling. You’ve got twelve magic gems scattered across these mysterious characters—some want peace, others just want power—and you’re basically smacking a ball into rows of jewels to clear them before they crush you. The tension’s real because those rows keep creeping down, and if you miss the ball, another row drops in to punish you.

There’s a surprising amount of depth here for what looks like a simple block-breaker. Story mode throws you into split-screen battles where you can sabotage the AI by dumping extra rows on them—pick from three attack styles, and good luck not panicking when they fire back. Trial mode’s more chill (just clear X rows to advance), while time attack and rapid mode are pure adrenaline—either race the clock or see how long you can survive the jewel avalanche.

Multiplayer’s where it really shines, though. You can tweak handicaps and difficulty to keep matches fair, and there’s something deeply satisfying about watching your friend sweat as you dump a fresh row of gems on their side. It’s way more strategic than it has any right to be.
