About
Starsweep is a puzzle video game by Japanese developer Axela, released in 1997 in Japanese arcades and for the PlayStation, and in 1998 for the Game Boy. The gameplay is similar to that of the Puzzle League series, but with more traditional Tetris-like gameplay where pieces fall from the top of the screen.
Pieces come in three colors: red, yellow, and blue. Pieces commonly have a star on one end, or occasionally, a star on two ends. The aim of the game is to clear blocks from the playing field, by matching stars from same-coloured blocks. Players are rewarded for creating combos (which are called 'links') of piece clearances. The game ends when someone's piece level reaches the top of the playfield and is not cleared after three seconds.
