Puzslot is a falling blocks puzzle game with a unique slot machine mechanic. Blocks fall in pairs and can be rotated with the A button (similar to Puyo Puyo), and a line of 3 or more matching blocks in any direction will vanish (similar to Columns). The unique element is that the falling blocks cycle through every picture, stopping when the block lands or the player presses the B button. Points are awarded based on which picture is matched (7 and BAR are worth much more), the number of blocks in a cleared line, and for chain combos. Each level has a score goal that the player must clear before the block counter reaches 0.
