Opening Snide Remarks: Another puzzle game just like
'Dr. Mario', 'Tetris', 'Yoshi's Cookie', 'Pokémon
Puzzle Challenge', etc.

Gameplay: It's actually a really fun and adictive
puzzle game, but probably only to people who enjoy
puzzle games. For those who don't it could very
well be just the same old thing just with a new look
to it. This game does have a little twist because
instead of making sure blocks (or in 'Dr. Mario's'
case pills) of the same type and color stack up, you
shoot a 'connector' and link it with blocks of the
same color and clear the blocks that way. Also, if
you clear each stage quickly you can get cards which
if you collect them all you get a surprise. (There
are a total of 91 cards that you can collect.) You can
also play against another player via a link cable (if
they have the same game that is. ^__^)

Graphics: nice and clear.

Sound: the sound is pretty good, but this game has
more music than sounds in it.

Music: Ya know the feeling where you just want to jab
a sharp object into your ear to burst your ear drum?
Well, that's how annoying this music gets after only
a short while.

Play Control: This is a fairly easy game to play and
you get the hang of game play very quickly.

Final Analysis: This game starts out with two anime
people (a young boy in battle type armor and a girl in
a Japanese school girl looking outfit), along with a
fat rabbit looking thing that looks like a Ryo-oki
reject munching on an oversized carrot. I don't
understand why those characters are there, but they
are. It's kinda pointless.

Currently Known Codes: While playing this game just
keep calm and don't panic if your blocks are really
close to the bottom. Sometimes you randomly get lucky
and chain reactions of exploding blocks happen and give
you a bit of time to get yourself out of the jam you
thought you couldn't get out of.
