Game Introduction

Anime-style characters battle it out to see who is the Crazy Cross ball-matching champion. All of the characters are extremely wacky, and flail about in hilarious ways as they dump junk balls on their opponents and as they receive junk balls. Characters include a strange looking Duck, a General, several pretty girls and various others. It is possible that the characters were taken from a Japanese comic or cartoon. The game is very colorful and frantic, and is extremely fun both to play and to watch. It is very Japanese in nature, and was apparently only released in Japan for this reason.

Game Play

The object of the game is to clear colored balls in various "combos," in order to dump the most junk balls onto your opponent. This is very similar to other puzzle games, such as the popular Puyo Puyo series and Capcom's Puzzle Fighter. The more balls that are matched at once, the more junk balls will be dumped onto your opponent.
