: P&N is the last breath of the Compile corporation, and the rich molecules of wizened game design therein still fill the lungs of puzzle likers everywhere. i experienced a lot of joy playing this! the design is smooth-sanded by the 9-odd-years of Compile puzzle wisdom. it claimed the title of "Puzzle Game of the '00s" falsely -- it doesn't iterate far enough away from Puyo Puyo to earn that title. instead it composed-out the design possibilities offered by the color-matching stacker into a thrilling package, "the greatest branch on the tallest tree."
