'Planet Puzzle League' (NDS) - 50 New Screens

by Rainier on June 15, 2007 @ 3:24 a.m. PDT

Addictive puzzle action with simple Touch Screen controls! Planet Puzzle League couldn't be easier to play. Use the stylus to grab panels and slide them from left and right. If you match three or more panels of the same color, they will vanish. Form chains and combos to create cascading waterfalls of panels and rack up high scores!

Planet Puzzle League features different-colored blocks on the playing field, and a two-block cursor that is controlled by the player. The player puts the cursor on blocks and drags left or right with the stylus to swap their positions. When three or more of the same-colored blocks line up, they disappear. Skilled players can use this to match multiple tiles without a break, creating combos and chains for bonus points. If the stack reaches the top of the screen, players have a few seconds before the game ends.
