Play Rentaiou Online
You link falling blocks into chains while dodging enemies, sweating over whether to cash in small combos or risk it all for a monster chain. That "one more try" hook hits hard with this one.
Rentaiou is a puzzle game released for the Game Boy in 1990, developed by Irem. It arrived during a period when the handheld was becoming a serious platform for puzzle games, offering a distinct alternative to the more widely known titles of the era.
You control a cursor on a grid, linking falling colored blocks into chains to clear them from the screen. The main objective is to survive as long as possible by managing the rising stack of blocks, with enemy characters occasionally dropping in to disrupt your plans. Key mechanics include forming long chains for higher scores and strategically timing your clears to maximize point opportunities while avoiding a game over. The pacing is deliberately tense, demanding quick decisions as the blocks pile up relentlessly. It feels like a constant, satisfying battle against the inevitable crush.
