Puzz Loop is a game of skill by the Japanese developer Mitchell, first published in 1998 as an arcade machine . This was followed by an official arcade sequel (2001) and ports and variants (including clones) for all common game platforms. It was last published in 2006 as an action loop for the portable Nintendo DS system . A special feature of this version is the support of a Rumble Pak, which provides the player with haptic feedback ( force feedback ).
Gameplay
In the game, different colored marbles roll towards a hole along a predetermined route. The player must avoid the marbles falling into this hole, because then he will have lost the game. For this purpose, he has colored marbles that he can insert between the rolling marbles. If there are three or more marbles of the same color in a row, these are automatically deleted, and this is precisely what the player tries to achieve as quickly and often as possible, so that all marbles have disappeared before they have reached the hole. The levels differ mainly in the path on which the marbles run.
