PUZZLE KOMBAT
Puzzle Kombat is similar to puzzle games of the past,
again with a MK twist. To begin, you have to choose
your fighter. They are similar to Virtua Fighter Kids
in the way they look and their size. Like arcade mode,
you go up a mountain of progressively more difficult
enemies.
Like Tetris, different colored pieces come down, and
you have to flip and set them. The object of the game
is to keep alike pieces together, so that when the breaking
piece comes, you can blow them all off the board at
the same time. The more you get rid of at once, the
more pieces fall on the enemy’s board. Whenever
the board is filled to the top, the match is over. Every
so often, a black bomb comes along, which allows you
to get rid of all alike pieces at once. Each fighter
has a special move. For example, Raider causes a storm
cloud to float over the enemy’s board, dropping
random pieces onto it. Baraka has two giant blades cut
through the edge of his board, giving him room for more
pieces.
To make puzzle kombat even more fun, the two fighters
wail on each other at the bottom of the screen the entire
match, and when a match is run, a mini-fatality is performed.
