This is my review/guide/whatnot
of tha game. I find it very funny: in a nutshell, a variant of minefield, very score-driven, not unlike Puzzle Bobble in this aspect. Currently, it should be at around 50-60$ a copy, i think.

Wow. Just got my copy in the mail today (so happy that it came in absolute pristine condition, everything looks brand new!) and I have to say this game is excellent. A typical quality Grev game. It's very simplistic at first, but actually much deeper than it seems with very addictive arcade gameplay. I love it!! Easily my fave puzzle game (even though I'm not a big fan of the genre). A $60 well spent. :D

I have to say this is one of the rarest Dreamcast games. I never see it for sale outside of an auction or two on yahoo.jp now and then (where I snagged my copy). Anyone know how many copies were made? I can't imagine it's more than a few thousand.

I have a copy in mint condition as well. I also got it off Yahoo Japan auctions. Very flashy, happy, and very nicely drawn anime chicks are in this game. I haven't played much of it since I just got it recently...

I'd say...

get it!

I was looking for this game everywhere, but was not able to locate one before leaving Japan. :cry:

Ok, after playing this game more I have to say it's incredible. Completely addictive and very challenging. Beat the first story mode with a score of nearly 5 million, and now I'm moving onto the next one.

Honestly, this is my fave Grev game behind Border Down (yes, I like it better than Under Defeat!). :D

What kind of scores did you get, Rando?
