In PuzzMiX, players will control falling "Lola Pods" to merge pairs into increasingly larger types. As the Lola Pods get bigger and bigger, the player will earn bigger scores as the chaos becomes even harder to control. Online leaderboards are included to show off the best Lola MiXers around the world.
When players earn a certain amount of score, they'll unlock a new song from Lola herself to listen to during the game. 19 vocal tracks are included in addition to 1 instrumental BGM.
Another variation on the Suika Game formula, but this one doesn’t quite click as well as some others
Of the Suika clones I’ve dabbled in, I ended up really liking PuzzMix the most, and that has to mostly come down to the music and core gameplay remaining great as ever. Still, with how much personality the Gunvolt series has to offer, I really wish it was bold enough to try some new mechanics.
In the end, PuzzMiX delivers a satisfactory experience for what it offers, even if it's not innovative, but it unfortunately restricts itself to a very specific audience of fans of the Muse. The game has a simple mechanic as a starting point but it requires practice in planning [how to use] the space, which may please puzzle fans that really want to...
PuzzMiX is an interesting variation of the Suika genre, bringing a new perspective [to it] with Lola's pods and an enticing soundtrack. Though it presents some limitations and frustrations due to the pieces' physics and the lack of variation in the scenery, it still manages to offer a casual and fun experience. It may be especially attractive for fans...
If you enjoyed Suika Game and love Azure Striker Gunvolt's music then PuzzMiX will be a welcome treat despite its lack of longevity.
