Description

"Nazo Puyo 2" is a puzzle game developed by Compile for the Sega Game Gear, released in 1993 as a follow-up to the original "Nazo Puyo." As a spin-off from the popular "Puyo Puyo" series, "Nazo Puyo 2" continues the tradition of challenging players with a unique twist on the classic falling-block gameplay. In this installment, instead of competing in head-to-head battles, players engage in a mission-based puzzle format where the objective is to solve specific challenges using limited pieces. Each level presents a different puzzle that must be solved by manipulating and placing Puyos to achieve a pre-determined goal, such as clearing the screen of all Puyos or reaching a certain score.

The game features Arle, the protagonist from the "Puyo Puyo" series, who needs to overcome a series of puzzles dictated by various characters she meets. What separates "Nazo Puyo 2" from other puzzle games of its era is its more cerebral approach—instead of merely reacting to problems, players must plan their moves in advance and think strategically. The game includes hundreds of puzzles, each with increasing complexity and requiring more thoughtful solutions. This approach not only provided depth but also significantly enhanced the game's replayability, offering a stark contrast to the fast-paced standard "Puyo Puyo" gameplay. "Nazo Puyo 2" remains a beloved entry in the Game Gear library, praised for its ingenuity and challenge, appealing to both puzzle enthusiasts and fans of the "Puyo Puyo" series.
