An aggressively fine version of the Tetris Attack formula. Spritework is very cute, it has some neat little remixes of Gold/Silver themes, and it even manages to incorporate catching into its story mode to some limited extent! Unfortunately, smaller board size leads to a lot less flexibility and combo potential, the back-and-forth nature of match play is impossible on a single screen and the compromise they come up with to turn your enemy into an RPG health bar, while cute, does make the 'versus' aspect that Panel de Pon thrives off of a bit moot. The base game here is good - of course it is it's Panel de Pon - but it IS the novelty version of its console-based older brother. Jynx's defeat sprite is hilarious, though,
