Poyo let’s you naturally think of the game Puyo but it is hardly the same.

An uncommon being without legs, like a Pac-Man, wants to leave his world "Netherwurld". Poyo, that is this purple leg-less-being,  has fed up and wants bunk. But this obscure world provides some obstacles which have to negotiated.

So what’s to do? Using your cursor-keys you can control this funny friend through 50 nail-biting levels. What stresses your nerves? Later more. Next to the obligatory left-right you have to take attention to the up- and down-keys, for having the ability to warp in all directions and to steer while jumping. A jump explains itself but warping is a needed function in this game, you may also call it "nitro" or "full throttle". Steering your player to the left afterwards pressing the warp-key Poyo will accelerate and may negotiate a big abyss. Same for the other three movement-directions. A jump followed by a warp will bring you some pixels high and so perhabs on a desired platform.

Goal of every level is to find the Exit. At the beginning there are just some handsome problems, for being able to learn the controls. The further you come, the more new things appear: moving stones, air streams etc. which need more and more skills and may force you to restart a level. Some players will be stressed very fast so patience is needed.

Restart? Uhm, whats with Game Over? No fear! In my tests there was not something which looked like a life-count or so. Jumping straight into a abyss or getting hit by a flash will restart the level for trying it again. This is necessary for the obvious way being hardly the correct one (hint: you can warp through thin borders and timing the right moment you can use the warpmode two-times).

If you like such mind-burning games and you will not be disturbed by crumbly (cursed by a low resolution) graphics you may be rewarded with a game whose background-music is something less supporting but also not disturbing and whose difficulty is a sharp tightrope walk between "challenging" and "wuahh, I can’t do it"-nerves-stressing.
