The game is built around single-screen puzzle stages. Players move the character around the board, arranging, linking, or clearing blocks of matching colors to meet each stage objective. As stages advance, layouts become tighter and enemies or obstacles create pressure, so positioning matters as much as puzzle efficiency. Good play comes from reading the whole board, preserving movement space, and setting up consecutive clears whenever possible.

Pochi

One of the main characters, a lively dog who serves as one of the game's mascots.

Nyaa

One of the main characters, a cute cat partnered with Pochi in the game's theme and presentation.

Study the board before making your first move and identify where larger same-color groups can be formed. Start clearing from edges when possible so you do not trap yourself in the center. If enemies are active, protect safe movement routes first and solve the puzzle second. Leave escape space for future turns instead of forcing a greedy chain. In harder stages, open pathways around obstacles early so larger clears become possible later.
