Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S: Kondo ha Puzzle de Oshiokiyo!

Mr. Driller + Yoshi's Cookie, at a snail's pace


Genre: puzzle - blocks

Publisher: Bandai

Year: 1994

System: SFC


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

Plays a lot like Mr. Driller. A really slow, monotonous version of Mr. Driller. Actually, maybe a mashup of Mr. Driller and Yoshi's Cookie. You begin with a screen full of tiny colored blocks and need to tap on collections of similarly colored blocks. Doing so makes all adjoining blocks disappear. If the set has 10+ blocks then it creates garbage blocks that get thrown to your opponent. Oh and yeah it's always a competitive match against another player. That's all well and good, and fun to boot, but the gameplay grinds to a halt once you've clicked on all sets of blocks. You have to wait for more blocks to drop, but these come in sets of only 2 or 3 every 15 seconds or so! It takes forever!! So you have about 30 seconds of frantic activity followed by a couple of minutes of absolute slog trying to clear all blocks from your side.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Chibi Sailor Moon characters. Lots of voice samples to let you know how the girls are feeling. Meh


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

Prepare to squint at teeny tiny blocks. You've got an equally tiny cursor that looks like a mouse arrow. Use a bright, big screen if at all possible. Still, it's colorful and the chibi girls are well drawn.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

It didn't drive me nuts, so I guess the music is ok. Certainly nothing noteworthy. Sound effects are minimal but nice.


Overall Score: 50

Review ID: 1555
