This is the true story of a lowly neophyte who dreamed of becoming somebody someday. Every night would see him looking up to the sky and wondering... "What if I could be up there, doing something worthwhile?" Well, one day a vacancy popped up in Heaven - they needed a new Sun god! And rumor has it that only one who collects 12 gems, each with a sign of the zodiac, along with a gem with a Solar Symbol on it, is worthy of the job. Now that opportunity has knocked, will our hero be able to answer and recover the 12 gems from their multiple-colored hiding places?
Based on the Puzzle Bobble series, Puzzle de Pon! pits a single player against a series of tricky puzzlers. The player's objective in each of them is to free a gem from a location buried deep inside the playing field. To do this, the player must aim a colored bubble and have it hit those of the same color. Depending on the player's aim, the bubbles can either fly straight up or ricochet off a wall. When three or more of the same color match, they pop. Once a gem is free, it's on to the next puzzle. If the screen gets filled to the brim with bubbles, or if time runs out, it's Game Over.
