    Cool I just got this game last week (for free too) for my PC Engine duo. I'll give this a shot.

    Ok, I actually really like this game minus the mind numbing music/sounds Decent first score but I'm sure it will take way more than this to win

    I had a score the other day, but accidentally hit start after I got a Game Over and the game continued, erasing my score /facepalm...back to the drawing board.

    Only reason I know of Puzznic is thanks to this multicart that you can see in the FCMobile.  Funny, since it doesn't seem like too rare of a game, yet it seems pretty obscure.

    I hadn't even heard of it until this contest, but since I don't own it I have to sit this one out.

     This game is really fun. Never really played it before. Not sure if i'll have time to get another score in, so in case i can't here's my best so far - 204,400.

    I might have another go at this - I know I could get farther but it's a frustraing and repetitive game so I might not.

    I've been practicing for Kung Fu for the past two weeks since I don't have Gyruss or Puzznic, but I still can't do any better than making it through the game three times. The first time is a breeze, the second time is tough and after that it just gets ridiculous.

    74050 for a participation point.. I had a better run but I didn't have my camera ready and didn't really want to play again.

  • rdrunnerrdrunner
    It's been a long time, but I still remember a lot of this game.  I used to be able to beat all of the levels in one game, but that required a lot of memorization that didn't stick.

    I had all intentions of playing this all day today but that plan was ruined last night. I was completely shit faced last night and got lost on the south side of Pittsburgh. My cell phone died and I asked a oouple of guys sitting on a porch if they had a cell phone charger I could use. That was an obvious mistake. One of the guys got really nasty with me and shoved me. Next thing I know, I got punched in the back of the head by another one. I tried to defend myself for a couple seconds before I took off running. I was able to throw a few punches but only landed 2(one landed on a guys jaw, the other landed on a brick wall.) So now, my rigt hand is badly bruised. Gripping a controller causes me an awful amount of pain. With that said, Great scores everyone!
  • KrunchKrunch
    Damn dude...you deserve a participation point for that kind of abuse!

    Here's my modest contribution for this week. Great game! Pretty much about memorization, some logic and a few quick moves here and there. I wish i could just continue masterize this but I'll switch to some good old Kung Fu



    Nice score Tom, that's like 5 times less than your TwinGalaxies record, but it's just normal since this game is mainly about memorization and fast completion. You can't remember all this over years, huh!



    Anthony, your story is crazy stuff. Glad to know that you're still fine, but not being able to play video games comfortably is a big bummer.

    Thanks, it totally blows but it should be fine in the next couple days, I just got to keep ice on it in the mean time

    It just sucks that this is the first game that I didnt get to post a score but I had all week to do so. It is what it is

    Guilty as well. I know this game since childhood because a friend of mine had the 260 in 1 cart and I use to borrow it and play some puzznic and Hwang Shinwei's rock paper scissors porn game

    Anthony, sorry to hear about what happened.  Hope you feel better soon.  You need your fists this week for Kung Fu!

    Yup, I'm getting old and senile.   I actually lost because of bad decision making on screens where I knew the solution.  Like at the end of my run, I had the level won, but on the final move, I cleared 2 blocks when there were 3 on the screen.



    Weird how the scoring mulitplies so rapidly on this game.  There are 160 puzzles in the game, which was worth over 11 million points when I set my TG record, but here I died on #90 and got a LOT less. Oh well.
  • guillavoieguillavoie
    I hear you, knowing it all doesn't mean you're going to get through it without thinking. Small errors are the real threats of this game. One dumb move and the puzzle is unsolvable.



    Yeah, scoring is really about getting to the last stages. More time to complete + increased bonus ratio does it all. My strategy was real bad this week. I focused on perfecting stages, with quick combos, but I finally lost my playing time on this instead of simply getting further in the game. At some point, preparing a 1000 points combo isn't worth it considering extra seconds give much more bonus points.

    Thanks Tom. I'm guessing by the "fists" reference, you get more points for using punches. Thankfully I won't be using my actual fists

    I didn't think of the points thing, but you're right, punches are worth more than kicks in Kung Fu.
