Accord, teacher of the local magic school, has lost her magic flying cane. There is word of an award so the students are busy searching high and low for it. Naturally, our heroes Amitie and her school nemesis Raffine make their way toward the distant dark castle, challenging - and being challenged by - everyone you come across in a game of Puyo Pop Fever . Puyo Pop Fever is a puzzle game where you need to clear your blocks (Puyos) by combining four or more of the same color. This will produce Nuisance Puyos, which will fall onto your opponents screen and block chains and combos they could create. You can try to "offset" by clearing your own Puyos and limiting the number that would fall on your screen.
As you play, you'll build up a Fever Meter. When this meter fills, you'll get a set of prearranged Puyos with which you can create giant combos and send tons of Nuisance Puyos to your opponent. If your field becomes too full, you'll lose the game.
The game has a two-player mode, where you can compete against each other. Some versions allow for more players, like up to eight on the DS.
