Puzzle Wednesday
@puzzlewednes.day
We’re playing Money Puzzle Exchanger this week, where Puzzle meets Magical Girls meets Math. Unlike Puyo style chains, anything matched during the clear frame counts, so reflexes are king. Come press buttons with us in this high octane Uppy-Downy that just oozes style

Puzzle Wednesday is calling upon the power of friendship for Friday Mode. This week we’re playing Logic Pro 2, an Arcade take on Picross, where we’re pairing together players to see who gets the best run across the night. Hope you bring your A game

This one is a real blind spot for me. We’re playing Tokimeki Memorial Taisen Puzzle Dama. We’ve done a couple knock off Dama’s before, with 3 to clear/multi-clear pieces. As for what the branding brings to the table, we’ll discover that together…

Or Ratttz will tell me

We’ve got Oh My God! this week, a matching colors games not that far off from Columns in its matching rules. What sets it apart is basic piece placement: you control pieces like in Snake, having to wind around to find the optimal position and deal with longer pieces

It’s spooky month, so that means that we have to pull out our favorite Ghost Busters-coded Ikaruga puzzle game, Ghostlop. Originally released never, Ghostlop asks you to aim and shoot like Puzzle Bobble, but you can change the polarity of the ball to maximize clears

This week for Puzzle Wednesday, we’re playing Sorcery Slam, a recently released indie title taking some cues from Dr. Mario 64. You’ll get some of the quality of life from later titles as well as some items for convenience and huge multiplayer lobbies. Come play with us

Any times that we are topical are pure circumstance.

Anyway, it’s Petal Crash’s 5th anniversary and we’re running Trash Attack, a more volatile mode where garbage is instantaneous. Petal Crash Online is free, so we hope you’ll join us this week

We’re playing Monster Slider tomorrow for Friday Mode. A matching colors chain game, the main conceit is that your board is on a slant, which you can change from a left and right orientation to open up new options.

Oh, and there’s character meta or something. Play with us

We’re playing Block Out this week, one of multiple takes on a top down Tetris. Block Out asks that you be mindful of the rest of your stack under the top layer as Top Down is “you can only see what’s on top”. That and a 3 button scheme for rotating will ask a lot of you

Columns II is a game that dresses its volatility in subtlety. There’s not a ton of gimmicks, just chaining and damage offsetting.

However, you will never be ready for how much a single chain with like 10 pieces will hurt. Hope you’re ready to pop X-Factor with us

Where do I even start with how down the rabbit hole UnStack is? It’s far from the first hit on search engines. It doesn’t have high resolution images of its title screen. It feels like a flash game printed to a CD and lord, it is a time and a half. Come play with us

You ever think “why isn’t Puzzle Bobble more violent and disruptive?”? Well, Azumanga Daioh Puzzle Bobble has your back

In spite of being based off the slice of life series, you can do some real mean spirited things with the ability to shoot into your opponents playfield

You ever play Puyo and go “wow, these little blob guys don’t hug each other enough”?. Well, Deroon Dero Dero has you covered, with pieces reaching across the board for mind bending chain theory

Plus there’s a burst. That’s always neat

We’re back this week with Tricky Towers, a physics Tetris that drops the conceit of Tetris and aims to be more akin to a competitive Jenga. We’ll be playing through multiple modes, testing your abilities to stack with structural integrity and deal with magic and shit

This week for Puzzle Wednesday, we’ve got a spin on a classic: Magical Drop III Yokubari Tokudaigo is a sort of “rainbow edition” for MD3. with a smooth, responsive 60 FPS, a whole character rebalance and even items making its way to versus mode. Come explore it with us

We’re a part of Vortex Gallery Online this year and we’re very excited about our game this year: Puzzle King’s version of Tetris. A bootleg game that takes a literal tennis approach to interactions with grave consequences for anyone who misses a volley

We here at Puzzle Wednesday present you the oft forgotten cousin of the “Uppy Downy”, the “Only Ups”. We’re playing the PSX Pop’n Pop, a matching colors balloon game with an emphasis on clearing your board entirely, with the PSX port widening the window for reactive chains

We’re playing TopplePOP this week, an indie puzzler where just as much of the emphasis is put on movement as it is puzzle solving. You’re controlling a character on a bungee cord, trying to toss pieces with their own physics to try and make clears. Come play with us

We’ve got a Friday Mode this week, and with it, a more “authentic” Kirby puzzler.

Kirby no Kira Kira Kizzu is no reskin, but it embodies a very Kirby energy as one of the easiest fundamental match to clear games out there. See my Dedede

Mouja is up to bat this week for Puzzle Wednesday. Crossing Money Puzzle Exchangers basic math clears with Puyo’s more fundamental falling blocks and chains, you still get some shenanigans due to the game having a burst, making it fun for beginners and experts

We’re playing Hexion tonight, a Tetris made for bees. With hexagonal pieces and grid, you’ll find that the rotation options for this game are surprisingly avant garde when placed next to its contemporaries

Also the game laughs at you a lot, so there’s that

You ever played Tetris and thought “wow, this is way too legible”? Well, we have the fix for you: Hexion, a Tetris for bees, played entirely on a hexagonal grid, with some piece sniping for added spice. Come play with us

Don’t let the cute exterior fool you, StarSweep is mean. Despite being ostensibly a Panel de Pon-like, it has the same brutality off of a single misdrop that Dr. Mario will deal you, and that’s why brackets can end on time. Come catch some hot matches tonight

We’re playing StarSweep this week, a more conventional color piece clearing puzzler framed by Panel de Pon framing: active chains, gradual board raising and solid lines of overhead garbage still abound

We’re playing Yoshi’s Cookie tonight and it’s right next to Wario’s Woods as a game of half fundamentals, half pure chaos. Remember to bring your umbrellas tonight, the weather might be inclement
