Puyo Puyo Reverie is a matching puzzle game released in 2022 for every major platform at the time. It is the fifth Puyo Puyo game to be released internationally, after the original, Fever, and the two Puyo Puyo Tetris games.
The game, from its perspective as a page on Fantendo, was intended to be a small project for the creator to explore the Puyo Puyo formula without being bogged down by needing to create art and such for yet another page.
Gameplay
Puyo Puyo Reverie retains the core elements of the Puyo Puyo series' gameplay, but adds a heavy spin to them. As always, both players have a playing field that is six columns wide and thirteen rows tall, and will constantly drop pairs of the titular Puyos from above. These Puyos come in five colours - Red, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple - and each Puyo in the pair can be of any colour, creating 15 potential pairs. They can navigate the Puyo left and right, speed up their fall by holding the Down direction, and rotate them in both directions. The Puyos stick to the bottom of the field and to any other Puyo, with pairs splitting off if one is directly on another Puyo, but the other is not.
When four Puyos of the same colour line up in a tetromino (four or more touching vertically and horizontally, but not diagonally), these Puyos will “pop” and be removed from the field. By taking advantage of the gravity on the Puyos, the player can make “chains”, where one match makes another tetromino of Puyos, and so on. As the player pops Puyos, their enemy's Garbage Meter fills up, filling up successively more quickly with each chain - filling the meter will drop grey Garbage Puyos into their field, which can only be popped by popping coloured Puyos adjacent to them. The Garbage Puyos clog up the field, making it difficult to carry on playing. Also, note that if both players get a chain at the same time, only the player with the lower chain has their Garbage Meter filled, and by less the higher their chain was (this is called the “Offset Rule”).
If a player's field becomes completely filled with Puyos and they can't place any more, they lose Health and the field is emptied out. The more Garbage Puyos that were on the field at the time, the more Health is lost. Health can be restored slightly by getting large chains, and by completely clearing a column or row of Puyos. If the entire field is emptied, the player gets an “All Clear!” bonus, restoring their health to full (unlike in previous games this does not send Garbage Puyos to the opponent). If either player runs out of health, the other player wins.
Each player can equip various Spells that make their life easier. Every Spell will assign itself to two colours of Puyo at the start of a match, and randomise these colours either periodically with “Spell Shuffle” events, or every time the Spell is used. Matching these Puyo colours will charge up the Spells. Once the Spell is fully charged, the player can cast them using a button input, granting various benefits such as re-arranging Puyo colours, clearing Garbage Puyos, restoring health and raising the speed at which Puyos fall. The Spell will then lose its charge, which must be restocked with different Puyo colours to use again.
Three spells may be equipped per match, on top of each character's “Personal Spell”. The Personal Spell is charged by all five colours of Puyo, at a considerably slower rate than the other spells.
As the game goes on, Special Puyo may enter the game, either as some of the Puyo the players get to drop, or with random coloured Puyos turning into Special Puyos as a reward for clearing several Garbage Puyos at once. Brave Puyos restore more health when popped, Bright Puyos give more charge to spells, and Sweet Puyos clear Garbage Puyos in a 2-tile range around them. There are also Rainbow Puyos, which count as all five colours of Puyo at once, matching with any Puyo and charging all spells.
Characters
| Arle |
A bright, tomboyish young magician who loves adventure. When the unusually colourful Puyos started showing up, she was the first to notice. ”What if there's some kind of adventure that they're leading on to? I'll follow them and bask in the magic!” Arle's Personal Spell is Bayoen, which turns three columns of Garbage Puyos into Rainbow Puyos. It's a simple multi-purpose spell - buying you more time, and potentially getting some matches if the arrangement is right. |
| Amitie |
An energetic, enthusiastic girl attending Primp Magic School to become a magician. The unusually colourful Puyos showed up, and she was quickly hooked. ”My dream is to be a great magician! If these shiny Puyos mean shinier magic, count me in!” Amitie's Personal Spell is Fairy Fair, which clears the top two Puyo from every column. While she cannot send Garbage to the enemy with this spell, clearing Garbage Puyo will restore more Health than normal, making this an entirely defensive spell. |
| Ringo |
A physics student at Suzuran Junior High. She saw the weirdly colourful Puyos, and at once they seemed out of the ordinary to her. ”There's something so weird about the shiny Puyos. I guess the first step is to make sense out of them!” Ringo's Personal Spell is Calculus (Permutation in the Japanese version), which turns all Puyo in three columns into either Red Puyos or Green Puyos. Yellow Puyos are made Red, while Blue Puyos and Purple Puyos are made Green. Restricting the colours makes it much easier to get a chain in this area. |
| Ally |
A self-proclaimed adventurer who believes in the power of love. She saw those weirdly colourful Puyos, and they quickly called out to her. ”The Puyos are shining with the light of love! If I collect them, everyone will be able to fall in love!” Ally's Personal Spell is Brave Heart, which turns two colours of Puyos (the selected colour and the next in the spectrum, so selecting Blue will affect all Blue and Purple Puyos) into Brave Puyos temporarily. These Puyo return to normal in an order that starts with the bottommost rows. This is a useful skill for restoring health quickly, provided the player can discern the correct colour to choose. |
| Draco Centauros |
Half-human, half-dragon, she's bold, beautiful and aiming to win in pageants. Those colourful Puyos were beautiful, sure, but she figured there was something more to them. ”These Puyos shine just like treasure. They've got to be worth collecting!” Draco's Personal Spell is Draco Upper, which fills an entire column with nothing but Red Puyos. It's an all-purpose spell that empties a column, restores some health and sends some garbage, though it finds its true value if there's potential for matching Red Puyos in the adjacent columns. |
 Suketoudara |
A movin', groovin' fish who loves to dance. He caught sight of the colourful Puyos, and he got the instant idea of a disco light show. ”If there's one thing that beats dancing, it's dancing in the light! I can make a big splash if I crab those shiny Puyos!” Suketoudara's Personal Spell is Bubble Time (Ripple Turn in the Japanese version), which fills in four rows of Puyos from below. It's a high-risk high-reward spell, as while it can give you more to match, it can also make it easier to fill the board and lose health. When this happens, however, the lower ratio of Garbage Puyo will mean that you lose less health. |
| Harpy |
A winged girl who loves to sing, but tragically, she's terribly off-pitch. She quickly found that the colourful Puyos could improve her singing, so she's trying to get all she can. ”I just need the shiny Puyo magic, and I'll be able to perform on-stage! Well, to the curtain call it is!” Harpy's Personal Spell is Do-Re-Mi, which fills the sidemost columns with Puyos. This is useful for filling up the board and giving the player more to match without clogging up existing setups. |
| Lidelle |
A very shy Primp Magic School student. She likes the colourful Puyos, but she doesn't want to get into squabbles over them. ”I-I don't want to fight over these Puyos... but they're so shiny! Can't we collect in peace?” Lidelle's Personal Spell is Arcobaleno, which causes all of her drops, for a period of time, to consist of one Rainbow Puyo and one other Puyo. The steady access to Rainbow Puyo is useful for finishing several matches or a combo set-up that the player has been unlucky with drop colours for. |
| Serilly |
A timid mermaid who really believes people are out to get her. The colourful Puyos brought a lot of strange people out, so she has every reason to panic. ”Ah! I can't go out the water, it's too dangerous... but then again, those shiny Puyos are pretty...” Serilly's Personal Spell is Cannonball (Splash in the Japanese version), which forces the opponent to take a 4x4 block of Puyo, in a two-colour lattice that makes sure no adjacent Puyo match, and place it like any other Puyo. This impedes the enemy's progress with extra Puyo that are difficult to use and even more difficult to clear. |
| Maguro |
Ringo's kendama-swinging classmate and childhood friend. He's not so sure about the sparkling Puyos, but with Ringo so fired up, he's convinced to head out as well. ”Well, I guess these Puyos are something special. If she's in the zone, I'll hop in too! ★” Maguro's Personal Spell is Sidewinder, which flips the entire lower three rows of Puyo horizontally. A useful spell for opening up extra Puyo-clearing options. |
| Risukuma |
A senior at Suzuran, ending up as a squirrel-bear after a failed experiment. As a researcher of love, he figures the shining Puyos have something romantic to them. ”Hmm, yes. These Puyos simply must be worth looking into. How they sparkle with tenderness!” Risukuma's Personal Spell is Devotion, which temporarily adds four extra rows to the top of the screen. A defensive spell that buys the player more time if the Puyos are piling up too high. |
| Klug |
The goody-two-shoes of Primp Town. Shiny Puyos don't just fall naturally from the sky, so he guesses they're linked to the stars somehow. ”A Puyo shooting star? I'm sure it's possible! You wouldn't see this glimmer on the earth, that's for sure!” Klug's Personal Spell is Lunar Eclipse, which prevents the enemy from restoring health for a period of time. This is a simple detrimental spell that finds its best use when the enemy is low on health, in order to make victory certain. |
| Lemres |
The sweet-talking comet warlock, known for powering his magic with confectionary. Among these new sparkling Puyo are ones with the sweetest aroma.. ”What kind of Puyos would have such a sweet fragrance as this? One thing's for sure, I can make the ideal magic with them!” Lemres' Personal Spell is Forêt Noire, which causes eight random Puyos within a 4x4 area to turn into Sweet Puyos. This is best used in an area with many Garbage Puyos, in order to maximise the Sweet Puyos' effect of clearing them in a larger area. |
| Sig |
A spacey, monotone bug enthusiast, with one red eye and one red arm. He wasn't so interested, until Amitie gave him the idea of endless magic. ”Endless magic? Well, at the very least, the ladybirds might enjoy it. I'll be heading off now...” Sig's Personal Spell is Lapis Lazuli, which causes all of his Puyo drops to consist of two Blue Puyos each for a period of time. This is especially useful when there are many Blue Puyos or chains that can be started by them on the board. If not, it can still be used for easy health and Garbage for the enemy by constantly popping the trickle of Blue Puyos. |
| Accord |
A teacher at Primp Magic School, kind but very mysterious. There hasn't been a class of hers lately without buzz about those sparkling Puyos. ”Ah, those Puyos? We could certainly make some good spells with them. I might have to gather some for the next class!” Accord's Personal Spell is Fin d'Études, which causes her to only receive Puyo colours that she already has on the board for a period of time (for balancing reasons, if only one colour is on the board, she will receive two fixed colours). This will also raise her defence against enemy Garbage Puyos, more so the more colours there are. Depending on the situation, this spell will be either offensive or defensive in nature. Accord can be unlocked by completing five scenarios. |
| Raffina |
The rich girl of Primp Town - not a natural mage, but she definitely tries hard. But what's this, sparkling Puyos from the sky? With extra powerful magic? ”Any magic I use with these Puyos is spectacular! Maybe that's it, I can use them to hit top of my class!” Raffina's Personal Spell is Rainbow Deluxe (Ciel Arc in the Japanese version), which changes the colour of three columns of Puyos to match a static colour pattern. The first column alternates between three red and two yellow, the second three yellow and two green, the third three green and two blue, and so on. Memorising the pattern opens up powerful combo opportunities. Raffina can be unlocked by completing three scenarios. |
| Feli |
A goth girl fascinated by the dark arts, she believes in fate and fortune. It was her summoning spell that led to the shining Puyos coming to be... but that's not the whole story, is it? ”By summoning the space-time traveller, I've brought these starlit Puyos to Primp Town... now, to see their use!” Feli's Personal Spell is Principal Star, which causes her, for a period of time, to send any Garbage Puyos that she destroys straight to the enemy's field. This is a spell that's very offensive in nature, and if used right can be very effective in cutting down the enemy's health, or even disrupting their chain. Feli can be unlocked by completing seven scenarios. |
| Witch |
A witch, hence the name, who's all about potion-brewing. She has a new brew in mind, but her last attempt ended explosively. Maybe some Puyo magic will do the trick? ”That must be the ingredient that I'm missing! If I gather enough Puyos, they'll make the perfect mix!” Witch's Personal Spell is Supernova (Big Bang in the Japanese version), which causes a single Puyo to blow up a 3x3 area around it, then drop down, and then blow up again. Any Puyo, including Garbage Puyos and even Diamond Puyos, can be set as the trigger. Garbage and Diamond Puyos only need to be in a 5x5 area of the explosion to be cleared, making this a very effective spell for cleaning up the field. Witch can be unlocked by completing six scenarios. |
| Schezo |
A dark mage who, in his extreme focus, is known for making outrageous remarks. He figures that somebody has a grim aim for using these Puyos' magic. ”As they say, every spell is waiting to be used for evil. Dark and evil are two different things - let's handle business!” Schezo's Personal Spell is Shadow Edge, which causes him to restore health for every Garbage Puyo cleared for a period of time. This is a useful defensive spell if the player is in the right position to use it - though because of that, it can also be quite a risk to pull off. Schezo can be unlocked by completing nine scenarios. |
| Lagnus |
A hero of light from the world of Gaia, he's truly brave, though perhaps just to a fault. He's out to dispose of the Puyos' magic, figuring it to be dangerous. ”These Puyos and their magic are a danger so sweetly disguised. I must not allow them to be unchecked!” Lagnus' Personal Spell is Final Cross, which clears out a column and row of Puyos. This is useful for clearing up the board, making easy column-based chain setups, and for wiping out large areas of Garbage Puyos. Notably, it is the only spell in the game that can clear a Diamond Puyo in one hit. Lagnus can be unlocked by completing eleven scenarios. |
| Rafisol |
A shadowy double of Ally who doesn't understand her own existence. Though seemingly uncaring of these shining Puyos, she knows more than she's letting on. ”So, this world is being shaken by the Puyos from the stars? It's none of my business, but very well...” Rafisol's Personal Spell is Domination, which completely wipes out a single colour of Puyo, and prevents that colour from being given to the player for a period of time. A useful spell for gaining total control over the board, clearing many Puyo. Rafisol can be unlocked by completing eighteen scenarios. |
| Rulue |
A martial artist who's madly in love with the Dark Prince. Being close with one of the most suspicious characters, many are turning to her for information. ”I may not know about these Puyos, but nobody's closer to him than me. Dark Prince, my lovely, tell me the truth!” Rulue's Personal Spell is Fighting Queen (Queenly Wild Dance in the Japanese version), which makes the enemy unable to remove their Garbage Puyos for a period of time. This spell is best used when the enemy is struggling with their garbage, making damage certain for them. Rulue can be unlocked by completing fourteen scenarios. |
| Dark Prince |
The lord of the Underworld who goes after Arle to earn her affection. He seems to love the falling star Puyos and wishes for them to carry on raining down... ”Ahahaha, the chaos these starry Puyos are causing is quite a wonder! But this reverie won't do good if it lasts too long...” The Dark Prince's Personal Spell is Ascension, which restores a portion of health - the more Garbage Puyos the enemy has on the board, the greater its effect. A spell designed for turning a losing game around. The Dark Prince can be unlocked by completing Rulue's scenario. |
| Ecolo |
The Wanderer of Worlds himself. When Feli brought him over with her summoning spell, a full meteor shower of Puyos followed... ”My, my! There'll be a lot of fun with the extra magic these spacey Puyos bring! But not if it all crashes down...” Ecolo's Personal Spell is Imitation, which copies the enemy's Personal Spell and uses it against them. If, for whatever reason, he cannot copy the enemy's Personal Spell (for example, if he is playing against another Ecolo), Imitation will turn into a variation of Ringo's Calculus, turning all Puyo in three columns into either Blue Puyos or Purple Puyos. Yellow and Green Puyos are made Blue, while Red Puyos are made Purple. Ecolo can be unlocked by unlocking all scenarios in Story Mode except for his own. |

Scenarios
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All scenarios consist of eight consecutive battles. The player's health bar is carried over between battles, though to compensate all battles except the last two are considerably easier, with the enemy having less health and fewer equipped spells - the difficulty creeps up as each scenario goes on, more quickly the higher its difficulty is (the number of highlighted Garbage Puyos shows the difficulty).

Final Boss
The Puyo Meteor is the last opponent in Ecolo's scenario, and as such the final boss of the entire game. There are some variations applied to the game in this fight.
- The player fights three consecutive "battles" against the Puyo Meteor. The first is fought as Rafisol, the second as the Dark Prince, and the third as Ecolo. If the player loses one fight, they have to restart from the first fight. However, the total health of the Puyo Meteor between all three fights is not much higher than that of other scenario's final bosses.
- Everytime the Puyo Meteor uses a spell, the spell in that slot will be replaced by another spell - there is no fixed spell set, the meteor can use every spell in the game. It will tend to use spells with a Fast cooldown in the first battle, spells with a Medium cooldown in the second battle, and spells with a Slow cooldown in the third battle.
- The meteor will only use Ressurectica in the third battle, and will always attempt to use this spell the first time its health draws low. Uniquely, Ressurectica will restore the meteor's health to approximately one quarter of its maximum the first time it activates, but not any other time.
- The meteor does not have a Personal Spell. If Ecolo uses Imitation on the meteor, it will turn into his unique variation of Ringo's Calculus (as it does when Ecolo uses Imitation on another Ecolo).
- After falling below certain health intervals, the meteor will automatically send a patch of Garbage Puyos to the player's field. This occurs for every third of health lost in Rafisol's fight, for every quarter of health lost in the Dark Prince's fight, and for every fifth of health lost in Ecolo's fight.
Trivia
- Puyo Puyo Reverie draws many cues from Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary:
- The inclusion of alternate costumes for characters.
- Instead of one linear storyline, every character has their own eight-stage story scenario. Though, in Reverie, all of these scenarios are a part of one narrative.
- There are 24 characters in the roster, not counting alternate costumes (which are considered separate characters in 20th Anniversary, but not in Reverie).
- The game's spells and alternate Puyo mechanics are heavily inspired by various modes in Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, most notably the Skill Battle mode.
- Unlike in previous games where four is the standard number of Puyo colours, this game has all five Puyo colours on the board, mostly due to the mechanic of two Puyo charging up each spell. If only four colours were used, there would be too much overlap in the Puyo that charge spells.
- Apparently, the number of Puyo colours was planned to increase as matches went on. There exist cyan, pink, orange and other unused Puyo colours in the game's files, and these colours even have proper interactions with spells that change Puyo colours, such as the fire spells, the ice spells and Ringo's Calculus.
- The files also hint towards the existence of a murky, slime-like black Puyo that was originally going to be a major gameplay mechanic, but was quickly scrapped.
