As these fall from the sky it's the player's job to arrange them so that a cluster of three or more elements of the same type is created.
These elements will then be cleared from the playing field.
When the player succeeds with doing this his Power Sword gets charged and when it's fully powered the level is completed.
The player fails if the stack of elements reaches the top of the screen.
But there are more challenges as some levels have monsters that throw indestructible skull blocks that quickly fills up the playing field.
To combat these monsters the player has access to a limited supply of adventurer's tools.
Some of these, like daggers and bombs, do direct damage on the target that it's dropped on but can also be used to help clearing the elements.
Daggers will take out an entire column of elements while hearts act as a wildcard and potions remove all elements of a sort from the playing field.
There are also keys that can be used to unlock chests or get access to new areas of the playing field.
Some special puzzles exist too for the player to figure out.
For example dropping a water element on a flower will give an extra tool.
The game three modes: quest, time challenge and training.
There are more than fifty levels split over five different realms.
The fifth realms is only made available if the player succeeds in completing the first four and collects all the ancient objects.
About Game Boy Color
The Game Boy Color (1998) added a color screen to the original Game Boy formula while remaining backwards compatible with the entire existing cartridge library. Its colorful, semi-transparent cartridge shells make it a visually distinct platform for shelf collectors, and several late-cycle exclusives — released just before the Game Boy Advance took over — are notably harder to find complete today.
Gamevaro tracks Puzzle Master for Game Boy Color with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Puzzle Master to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GBC release dates back to 1999.
