Puzzle Uo Poko is a visual matching game in which one player or two co-operative players (represented by cats) try to clear the screen of coloured bubbles in order to progress to the next level.[4][5] All the action takes place underwater across 30 stages and with each completed level the cats travel deeper in their submarine.[6][7]
Development and release
Puzzle Uo Poko was solely designed by Toshiaki Tomizawa, co-founder of Cave whose previous works include the DonPachi series.[8][9][10]
In 2005, Cave released Puzzle! Mushihime-tama, a spiritual sequel to Uo Poko presented as a spin-off of the Mushihimesama series of manic shooters.[11]
