Cosmo Gang the Puzzle
解谜：Cosmo Gang the
Cosmo Gang the Puzzle is an arcade puzzle game released by Namco in 1992, serving as a spin-off from the Cosmo Gang the Video shooting game. Players arrange falling alien-themed pieces on a playfield, aiming to clear rows or clusters by matching and stacking the colorful Cosmo Gang characters. The game follows a stage-based structure, with increasing difficulty as enemies and piece patterns grow more complex. Controls use a joystick to move pieces horizontally and rotate them, with a button to drop them quickly. Special Cosmo Gang enemy pieces interact with the board in distinct ways, adding a layer of strategy beyond standard block-dropping mechanics. Two-player simultaneous competitive mode is supported, letting players race to clear the board and send garbage pieces to the opponent.
