The local magic school’s teacher Accord has misplaced her magical flying cane. Because there has been mention of an award, the students are looking high and low for it. Our heroines, Amitie and her school enemy Raffine, naturally make their way toward the distant black castle, challenging – and being challenged by – everyone they meet in a game of Puyo Pop.
Puyo Pop Fever is a falling-block puzzle game where the goal is to clear your blocks (Puyos) by combining four or more of the same hue, which will vanish. This will result in Nuisance Puyos. These colorless Puyos will fall into your opponent’s screen, preventing them from forming chains and combinations. These obnoxious Puyos can only be eliminated by removing nearby Puyos.
When an opponent sends Nuisance Puyos to your screen, you can try to “offset” by clearing your own Puyos and minimizing the quantity of Nuisance Puyos on your screen. This will also cause your Fever Meter to rise. When this meter is complete, you will be handed a predetermined set of Puyos with which you can rack up massive combos and throw tons of Nuisance Puyos at your opponent. The game is over when a player’s field is so packed that they can no longer drop Puyos.
There is a two-player mode in the game. Some versions support additional players, such as the DS version, which supports up to eight players in free-for-all or team games.
