Gameplay
Gameplay
The player controls the fairies Tam and Rit as they clear rows of fruits to gain points in the manner of Puyo Puyo. The player drops a square of four fruits varying in color; if a fruit lands on those of other colors, they can change the color of fruits in a set pattern in a manner similar to reversi. When a full row of fruits are of the same color, they disappear and grant points. The game ends when the player fails to clear all rows after the area is full.
