What is Nice On?

Nice On is a puzzle game released for the WonderSwan in Japan in 1999. It was published by Bandai and is part of the system's early lineup. The title is known for its simple yet addictive matching gameplay. [M] in the filename likely denotes a specific version or revision, but details are not widely documented. The player controls a cursor on a grid filled with colored blocks. Blocks drop from above, and the goal is to line up three or more of the same color to make them disappear. Rotating and positioning the falling pieces is key to clearing the board. The game increases in speed as the player progresses, testing reaction times and pattern recognition. As an early WonderSwan puzzle title, Nice On offers a solid, no-frills experience that captures the system's pick-up-and-play appeal. While it might not stand out against bigger puzzle franchises, it remains a competent example of the genre on a handheld that didn't see many releases outside Japan. Fans of classic block-matching games will find it satisfying enough to revisit.

How to play Nice On online

Start a new game from the title screen. The menus are in Japanese, but the options are usually straightforward - the first option typically begins a single-player game. Once in play, colored blocks will fall from the top of the grid. Use the arrow keys to move the falling piece left or right, and press the A button (X key) to rotate it. The aim is to position the blocks so that three or more of the same color are adjacent in a row or column, which causes them to disappear. Clearing blocks adds to your score and prevents the grid from filling up. The game ends when blocks reach the top. The core loop involves quickly assessing the board and rotating pieces to create matches. As you clear lines, new blocks drop faster. There is no time limit per move, but the increasing speed demands quicker decisions. If you get stuck, you can try to set up chain reactions by arranging pieces so that a match triggers additional matches. The game is purely score-based, so focus on efficiency and combos. Practice will help you recognize patterns and manage the grid space better.
