How to play Puzz Loop online

When you start the game, the title screen displays in Japanese. Press Start to move past it. The menu options are in Japanese, but the first one is typically "Start Game" or similar - press X (A button) to confirm. You can also press V (Select) to access options if needed. Once in a round, you control a cannon at the center of a spiral track. Colored marbles advance along the track toward the center. Use the D-Pad to aim and press X or S (A or B) to fire a marble into the chain. Matching three or more of the same color makes them disappear. The goal is to clear all marbles before they reach the end of the track. The game is straightforward but frantic. Keep an eye on the next marble color shown near the cannon and plan your shots. There's no time limit, but the chain speeds up as you progress. If you let any marble reach the center, it's game over.
