Puzzle (USA) (Unl)

In the NES game Puzzle, players are challenged with their spatial reasoning and arrangement skills in a classic puzzle experience. The game screen features a rectangular play area where colored blocks continuously fall from the top. The player's task is to control these falling blocks, which includes moving them left or right and rotating them before they hit the bottom or stack on top of other blocks.

The primary objective of Puzzle is to form rows or columns of three or more blocks of the same color. When three or more identical blocks (based on color) are aligned horizontally or vertically, they disappear from the screen, freeing up space. Any remaining blocks above them will then fall down to fill the void, which can potentially create exciting chain reactions if the falling blocks form another group of three or more.

The game continues until the blocks stack up to the top of the screen, leaving no more room for new blocks. At that point, the game ends. The difficulty of Puzzle gradually increases through the levels, with blocks falling at a faster pace and sometimes the appearance of more complex block patterns, requiring players to react quickly and employ good strategy. It's a simple yet addictive puzzle game, suitable for those who enjoy brain-teasing challenges and quick reflexes.
