Panel De Pon DS / JAP

Panel de Pon DS is all about speed, tactics and combining - in a modern puzzle game that you control with the stylus. Unlike previous versions with cute fairies and story backdrops, Panel de Pon DS presents a minimalist, futuristic aesthetic with techno music and clean skins that change automatically depending on the level progression.

In Panel de Pon DS, you typically hold your Nintendo DS in "book mode" and drag the colored tiles horizontally across the touch screen. The aim is to form three or more identical tiles in a row so that they disappear and make room for new combinations. Particularly clever in Panel de Pon DS: When you start a chain, you have a brief moment to make further moves - perfect for extendable combo puzzles.

Panel de Pon DS offers a variety of single player modes - Endless, Score Attack, Lift Attack, Puzzle or Stage Clear with missions - as well as daily Blitz high score tournaments in "Daily Play".

Online and local multiplayer modes are integrated in Panel de Pon DS:

• Nintendo Wi-Fi Battle: Play against opponents worldwide in modes such as Free Play, Novice, Friend or even Birthday Matches - with optional items such as fire panels or reflectors

• DS Wireless Play: Local duels with up to four players via download play or single module - e.g. as a score, clear or garbage battle

A plus of the DS version of Panel de Pon DS: for the first time in the series, you control directly via touch - no more cursor necessary, which makes for fast, intuitive gameplay. Combined with the new visual style, this makes Panel de Pon DS particularly contemporary.

Panel de Pon DS is not a nostalgic heritage, but a modern puzzle experience. With nerve-wracking chains, smart touch play, atmospheric music and a complete online mode, Panel de Pon DS elegantly brings the classic formula into the new decade. Whether alone for high score training or in competition with friends - anyone who loves Puzzle League should definitely pick this up.
