Is this the quintessential puzzle game?

Yeah, sure why not. Whatever.

You need a guide to get good at Tetris?

To get REAL good, yes. I've seen people pull off amazing combos in competitive columns.

I would always have to say the quintessential puzzle game would be Tetris, but Columns is still a damn fine series.

>>4081407
It's the first "modern" puzzle that's for sure. Anything that came after took inspiration from it (color based pieces, chains). Also fine aesthetics and music

It also started the weird puzzle game obsession with Jewels.

Only the rebalance though. Original PF is broken

>>4081865
It's not broken if both players use Dan.

>>4081870
It's not broken if both players pick any two same characters, but that's not a lot of fun. It's not a bad game, just the rebalance makes it overwhelmingly better.

No, that would be Panel De Pon.
