Puzzle De Pon! R!

is a puzzle video game made by Visco Corporation in 1995. It was initially released for the Neo Geo arcade platform.

Gameplay

The game plays similarly to the '' Puzzle Bobble'' series. There are some gameplay differences however. Although the player clears the colored balls on the screen by firing balls against other balls of the same colour, the objective of the game is not to clear the screen of balls. It is instead to clear all the balls from around the level shape, referred to as the "drop token". Once this shape is freed, it explodes and the player travels onto the next level.
There are 39 levels in the game, divided in groups of three levels. In the first two levels, the shape is something generic; in the third level the shape is a Zodiac sign, up to level 36 (since there are 12 signs). Level 39's shape is the Sun sign (). Once you beat the game, it is stated that you became the Sun God, and the ending shows your character riding the Sun Chariot in the sky.

Levels in this style were later adopted by the ''Puzzle Bobble'' series.

''Puzzle De Pon R!''

In 1997, a sequel to ''Puzzle De Pon!'' was released for the Neo Geo MVS system, entitled ''Puzzle De Pon! R!''.

The game concept is the same, but it features different stages.

Name origin

The name ''Puzzle De Pon!'' is derived from the animations of bubbles popping in the original '' Bubble Bobble'' videogame, where a little onomatopoeic animation (through Japanese pronunciation) saying "Pon!" would appear once a bubble was popped.
