About this game

A falling block puzzle game announced for 2016 for the the Nintendo 3DS. From Moo Niitani, creator of the Puyo Puyo series. This is a "fighting puzzle" video game based on 2003 Neo Geo game Pochi and Nyaa, co-produced by Aiky, Taito and SNK, and inspired by Puyo Puyo.

The game consists of two 8x16 grids, one for each player, where the Nyokis fall in pairs, and each player must gather several adjacent Nyokis to clear them from the board, and send nuisance Nyoki to the opponent. The game ends when the Nyoki reach the top of the third column. Unlike Puyo Puyo, where the mechanics is to gather 4 or more adjacent Puyos of the same color and form chains, the player can accumulate as many adjacent Nyoki as they want, and eliminate them when they considers it convenient by converting the falling Nyoki pair into an "activator ", forming a chain reaction through the adjacent Nyoki.
