Pikiinya! (ピキーニャ!) is a puzzle game developed by Crea-Tech and
published by ASCII Soft. It was only released in Japan. A slightly
enhanced version was released for the Playstation under the name
Pikiinya! EX.
Pikiinya! is a falling blocks game similar to Puyo
Puyo, Tetris or Columns. You stack qudartic pieces which consist of four
blocks. Each block is either a penguin, a block of ice or a block of
ice containing a penguin. If six or more penguins are are side by side,
both horizotally and/or vertically, they disappear and the remaining
blocks fall down. In some modes, there are nuts on the playfield or
sometimes contained in the blocks. Nuts form obstcales. They disappear
if a group of penguins disappears next to them. Ice only disappears if
an entire row of ice blocks is formed. It does not matter, if the blocks
contain penguins or not. If an ice block containing a penguin
disappears, the penguin is left behind. You can use this to build chain
reactions. As usual, you go game over if the blocks pile up to the upper
border of the screen.
The game has several modes. Apart from a
two-player vs. mode, you have several single-player modes. You can play
an endless mode where you play until you go game over. You have a story
mode where you play a series of matches against different CPU opponents,
similar to Puyo Puyo. There is a stage mode where you need to remove
all nuts on the screen in each stage, and a race mode where you make a
penguin run as fast as possible by chain reactions.
