Puyo Pop Fever

The timeless puzzle game Puyo Puyo has been given a modern makeover and now includes the brand-new “fever” mode. Better known in the West under Puyo Pop, Kirby’s Avalanche, and Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine, Puyo Pop Fever still follows the classic bubble-popping format (align four or more “payos” to make them pop). Still, Sega also delivers completely overhauled visuals with a more hand-drawn look, an expanded roster of characters, and a new “Fever Mode” that cranks up the action to frantic degrees once players fill a “fever gauge” on their screen. Even if a mode for four players wasn’t included, there is still the option for two players to compete against each other head-to-head for points or survival.
