Lupupu Cube is a game that probably won't impress many but it's a fun relaxing game of pushing blocks to match colors. It doesn't go overboard on gimmicks and there's a lot here to sink into. The game has 100 puzzles plus another 100 once you beat the game which I didn't do, sorry. Each 10 levels have their own theme and story and while I can't understand any of it, it seems to look fun and maybe would be nice for children.

What really shines is the music. It's some of my favorite stuff in a video game. They're all vocal songs and they're all just so catchy and fun. In some ways they might carry the game to the rating it has. The artstyle is also pretty great too.

Sadly the puzzle mode is probably the low point for me as it's not very fun. I don't like how you can't move pieces as they're falling and I don't get why they can land on me but blocks that fall on me that are already placed end the game immediately.

For 1996, a game like this works and it won't blow you away but for what it is, it's very good. There is a DS and PSP game but idk what's different about them besides the cutscenes seem to not be using sprite art anymore. Would I recommend Lupupu Cube? Not really sure. It did apparently get a US release in 2012 but it seems to be gone. Still I would recommend the music if Japanese vocal tunes are your thing. All the music is on Youtube if you're curious.
