I love Puyo Puyo. Thanks so much!

I'll give it a shot tonight. (Which is a real archivement, since I'm now addicted to Beat2X)

Wow,
Amazing port. I didn't even know such a good gpl version of puyo puyo existed.
Controls are great, great graphics!
This is probably now my favorite homebrew/port gp2x game (beating out super methane brothers).
Any future port plans?

Thanks again.

Playing it to death on picodrive, a native version is all the better.

 

[icurafu]

being playing it for the last few hours.

It's very good. 2nd best puzzle game to me. It's not quite a cutsy as the megadrive version.

Oh, but atleast it's in English, and I can get past level 4.

Re: Sega Genesis version. "Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine" is the English Language Clone version of Puyo Puyo - if you want the best English emulated version.

I loved this at first, except the strategy feels random. Because you're technically in competition with another puyo puyo bastard, you think you're doing ok, then all of a sudden, six tonnes of blank bubbles fall on your head. And it's pretty much game over at that point.

I assume that I need to adjust my strategy because that happens way too much to me, and usually just a couple of minutes into the game.

By the way - looking forward to try out this title this evening & will post my thoughts then.

Cheers-mb

I agree.
What is a good strategy??!

Is this like Puyo Pop Fever on the Xbox ? I love that game! h34r:

 

[Goemon4]

cool, cant wait to try it (thanks!)

 

[icurafu]

a good stratagy is to try and get large combinations by not matching 4 as soon as possible. If you are just trying to reduce blocks... or cats in this case, you're never really punish the competition.

And if you wait too long, you'll ruin your setup after the attackers bubbles come down.

Anyway, the AI is much dumber then in Puyopuyo on the Megadrive.

Thanks Markiej. I'll give it a go when I have time.

Reviewed!

Isn't flobopuyo GPL? If so, the porter might want to release his sources or at least a diff file to avoid dealing with the silly GPL police.

I love PuyoPuyo!!!

Any game like Puyo Puyo for my GP2X is welcome .

Here's my very quick review:

Lovely game! Really looks and plays great. Faithful to the original, albeit easier (which is definitely a good thing in my book).

Only Con (as has been said) was that music becomes a little distracting, but is easy to shut off.

Nice work!

Removed from the archive because the porter didn't include an eMail adress to contact him nor the sourcecode, therefore, it's against the GPL to provide the game to download.

If you have any contact information about the porter (or are the porter), please contact me ( EvilDragon_AT_gp2x.de ) , as the game really rocks and I'd be sorry if the gp2x version would not be available anymore.

Thanks!

There are hundreds of accidental GPL violations on this site. What makes this one so special?

 

[Alex.]

Free software my ass. <_<

He took the time to port this for us, and this is how he's getting repayed?

ED's archive is payed for by .... EvilDragon. If he feels the need to remove the file, he's entitled. He's a decent guy, so I'm sure that his reasons are legitimate ... that GPL thing is a pain in the ass sometimes

It's possible to contact the porter, vroby, from here (and I think an email is __vroby__(AT)libero.it ).
However, the source code is downloadable from http://repository.gp2xdev.net/viewfile.php?id=59
