It's a relatively poor Bust-A-Move clone, and the sad part (to me anyway) is that it's made by the same people who made Porindama/Porindama Online and the Lyrical Nanoha style action puzzle game.

Regardless of what people say, I like Porindama Online and think that it's a decent H-Puyo Pop clone. This game, however, is flawed for things that I feel could've been avoided. The ball programming really sucks...you can shoot it in a spot where the ball should obviously fit and it won't fit...not just because you shoot it wrong, but it is actually impossible to get it into certain very possible areas. I call them "blind spots" of programming. You can see them, but you can't access it. It's made even more obvious since you have a ball shot guider to guide the ball...only to see that it can't fit in a crack that would never be an issue in a standard Bust-A-Move game.

Other problems? Just watch 3:13 to around 3:20 on my side of the field (left) closely and it will all be clear...I mean, how is that NOT a programming issue? I'm hoping that they at least fix the ball programming and pivots in the future because their current patch still does nothing to address this problem. Reimu is freakin' garbage in this game...which makes story mode nearly impossible on anything other than normal. Lunatic difficulty is acheivable with most other characters...just to put Reimu's sucktitude into perspective. The "Touhou Guru Guru" game that recently came out is a much better alternative to this game. Play Porindama Online instead. Enjoy.
