Columns (Neo Geo)

Columns is a classic puzzle game released on the Neo Geo system. The objective of the game is to arrange falling colorful blocks to create horizontal lines of three or more blocks of the same color. When three or more blocks of the same color are aligned, they disappear, awarding points and causing the blocks above to fall. As the game progresses, the speed at which the blocks fall increases, requiring players to have quick reflexes and good planning skills. Columns is not just a simple puzzle game, but also requires a combination of strategy and speed. Players need to anticipate the placement of blocks to create chain reactions that eliminate multiple blocks at once, thus achieving the highest score. Some commonly used strategies include creating tall columns of the same color blocks to generate more points, or creating chain reactions to eliminate multiple blocks simultaneously. In addition, the appearance of special blocks adds to the diversity and challenge of the game. The gameplay of Columns is simple yet incredibly addictive, making players always want to conquer new challenges and achieve higher scores.
