Puyo Pop has been the fad of many hand held game consoles like Nintendo DS, N-Cage and Game Boy Advance. Now Puyo Pop is available on the PSP too. If you are not familiar with Puyo Pop then here are the nuances of the game.

The important aspect of the original Puyo Pop game is to try and connect as many as four or more of these Puyos which are presented as little round oddlings with cute faces in the same colour. You can send Nuisance Puyos to anyone playing against you. There are two boards that appear on the screen. The one on the right is for you, while the left is for your opponent. You can create a chain and send Nuisance Puyos too. When you create chains, you actually cause the stacked Puyos of your opponent to fall. The ones below get eliminated as they connect to other Puyos close by. Nuisance Puyos can be cleared by collecting four Puyos of the same colour.

Puyo Pop fever is the latest addition to the game on the PlayStation Portable and is known as Fever Mode. Here the goal is to create chains to send Nuisance Puyos to opponents. Right next to the board is a fever Gauge that gets filled up as you keep stalling the nuisance Puyos. There are seven points to be filled up after which you are ready to enter fever Mode.

The Puyo Pop fever is a game that is extremely colourful and has animations in Japanese style. The graphics are displayed beautifully in matches. You will find your screen set ablaze in a riot of colours with the animated and shinning Puyos. Though the graphics of the Puyo Pop Fever PSP version are very good, the music aspect needs to be worked upon as it is mostly repetitive.
