Sega Team’s Japanese-only 15th anniversary party piece contains the best bits of Puyo Pop Fever and its Japanese-only sequel, plus some brand new elements including the much-wanted Wi-Fi.

The deceptively simple-looking puzzle game consists of dropping colored blobs down the screen to create matching groups of four.

Fortunately there's a comprehensive tutorial to teach you.
