Cuyo is a Tetris-style puzzle game for up to two players with a twist

Cuyo is a Tetris-style puzzle game for up to two players. The player controls falling blocks of various types which change with each level. For example, in the first level, the player has to connect differently colored cartoon faces to each other. When enough blocks of the same type are connected, they explode. Usually the level goal is to destroy a certain number of special blocks at the bottom of the screen; these special blocks explode when blocks adjacent to them explode (in some levels, only when this is accomplished through a chain reaction).

Some of the more complex levels have

changing blocks (e.g., darkening over time, changing into a different state, only revealing their type occasionally)
changing environments (e.g., very quickly falling blocks)
different block connection requirements (e.g. blocks can only connect diagonally)

The player loses when the blocks reach the upper border of the level. This upper border is slowly lowered like a "curtain" (with a velocity depending on the level), forcing the player to reach the goal with some time.

The game graphics and animations, while simple, are part of the player's motivation, since they change with each level. The constantly changing requirements make Cuyo different from Tetris, where the main variation over time is speed and scoring.

More levels? posted by AlienWolf @ 213.207.151.22 on Oct 27 2008 2:38 PM

Anyone know if there is a repository for more levels or is anybody making new ones? I've made a few levels for this game because it is soooo addictive and I have finished all of the levels that come with it!

Great game ! Very addictive, even if some levels are, so to say, "weird"... and I'm only on to the 15th level in a "Standard" track. I'm looking forward to riding the weird track, but a little apprehensive with regard to all the time I'm going to spend not doing something productive. :) Keep up the spirit ! Many thanks.

Brilliant game. But I can't get past the "letters" level. Any one know how?

Hi! Finally I got it. Passed the letter level. They are kind enough to give the key after that: H=I=N=O=S=X=Z; F=Q=J=L=G=P=R; A=M=T=U=V=W=Y; B=C=D=E=K; They are classified according to the symmetry (vertical, horizontal, etc) Enjoy!

It's like PuyoPuyo, but... posted by Anonymous @ 203.205.84.125 on Oct 1 2005 5:01 AM

This game is very similar to japanese great game "PuyoPuyo" (http://www.3d-ages.co.jp/12puyo/), but this one has a superfluous feature. That is, when a human plays with computer, suddenly the lowest row of the field of human sadly gets sent to the computer's one. This completely breaks an long-awaited arrangement for a big "chain-reaction". And I also dislike the feature that exploding only 4 faces precipitates 2 faces to another field. Too many. 1 face is sufficient.

I was completely addicted to this game for about six months a few years ago. It is an incredibly interesting and varied tetris derivative with some very amusing graphics and styles. I got stuck on the arrow level for ages until I finally got my brain around it. Overall its just very fun, well written and entertaining. If you liked Dr. Mario or Jewels or other "connect to eliminate" tetris-likes, this game is for you.

Be careful with Cuyo; you might find yourself playing this game late at night and seeing little falling burgers all day at work. When you finally show up bleary-eyed from gaming all night...
