Japure

[Pater Alf]

A puzzle game by Renzo Thönen ("Murder in a Wheel" and "Mental Repairs Inc.").

"Japure is a remake of Taito's puzzle game Puzznic from 1989 with a couple of new gameplay features added into the mix.

The game's rules are easy to understand but hard to master: Blocks of the same color must be moved together so they disappear from the level. Blocks can only be moved sideways, but thanks to gravity they fall down if they stand in midair. If two or more blocks of the same color get to sit next to and/or on top of each other, they disappear at once. The goal of the game is to remove all colored blocks from each level.

Japure contains 60 levels (with graphic sets changing every 10 levels) and features additional game elements (namely ice, joker blocks, cracked walls) that challenge the player's brain even more."(taken from the readme file)

I never had enough of blockpushing games. Besides, Taito's name alone persuades me to check this one (never heard of original).
