Noukone Puzzle Takoron

Noukone Puzzle Takoron is an arcade puzzle game released for Sega NAOMI arcade hardware. The game was released on the Wii as Octomania under another publisher.

The player controls a 2x2 cursor over a field of colored octopuses. Pressing the Main button causes the octopuses under the cursor to rotate counter-clockwise. Numbered nets are scattered around the playing field. If the player arranges a number of same-colored octopuses under the net, the octopuses under the net, as well as any other octopuses of the same color which are connected orthogonally, are removed.

By removing octopuses in this way, the player can send sea urchins to their opponents playing field. Sea urchins can not be removed using nets, but are removed if they are orthogonal to other octopuses being removed, similar to ojama puyos in Puyo Puyo. If the player's field fills up for 3 seconds, they lose.

Story

It's just another day in Lonronpia and Kari, an apprentice magician, decides to summon up some of her favorite treat: takoyaki! But instead of delicious takoyaki appearing, a shower of colored octopuses rain down from the sky. A guardian angel appears and informs Kari that she must rid Lonronpia of the octopuses. Now, she must embark on a journey to find the demon prince Exaltus. Surely he will know what to do!
