What a great article!!

So, I’m a huge Game Boy fan. I’d heard about how good Puyo Puyo is, so I got a Japanese copy of Puyo Puyo Tsu. From what I can tell it’s a great port. But I struggled so much getting into it! And then I read your comment…

Puyo Puyo Tsu is hard. It’s really damn hard. I’ve witnessed many new players struggle with even basic 3- and 4-chains, nevermind making the real big chains the game mode demands of you. And unlike Tetris where casual players do not need to know fancy T-Spin setups just to get started and play, you really can’t get far at all in Puyo Puyo Tsu without at least some understanding of chaining fundamentals.

…and I feel justified. 😅 What do you recommend is a good way for a new player to get into the game? Something to read, a video, or something else?

😄 The phone call was just to get some simple bonus tips, nothing really necessary.

What killed me was, to swap items, you hold Select and use the arrow keys. It’s soooo unintuitive!

Ohhhhh the creator of TempleOS? I thought you were referring to someone who died recently. 😅
