Puzzle/Pocker game

Ryû Kyû is an unusual puzzle game produced by Ascii Corporation and published by Face. Decorated in a Hawaiian theme (actually, the game is probably based on the Japanese Ryû Kyû Islands), the game mixes together elements from various classic features with new ones - the most obvious being traditionnal Poker and Tetris. The game field is made of a uniform "five by five" grid. Playing cards are dropped from the top of the field and fill up these empty spaces. When a row, a column or a diagonal of five cards is filled, the game awards the player points for creating poker hands (card combinations) such as pairs, straights or flushes. The goal of the game is to gain the maximum amount of points and maybe achieve a perfect Clear. Ryû Kyû offers different play modes - solo modes often give the player an opportunity to reveal a picture with a cute girl in bikini made of mosaic tiles (if only they can manage to cleanup the field and unlock them all).

Ryû Kyû is surprisingly fun to play but it would have been nice if the game included more levels, or at least more variation. It is also a nice update of the solitaire genre and it has the potential to be addicting. Next time you are bored of fighting waves of alien spaceships or lining up bombs inside narrow corridors, Ryu Kyu is a welcoming alternative to fill up that time of boredom. Nothing groundbreaking nor mesmerizing, but worth a try.
