Puyo Puyo VS
Puyo Puyo VS (aka Puyo-Online) is a Puyo Puyo clone meant for online competitive play. Connect with others to play Puyo Puyo with classic Puyo Puyo 2 rules.
There is also "PVS rules" where you can instantly drop Puyo by pressing up and garbage won't fall when offsetting.
Note that this game is created with competitive play in mind. It's meant for people to easily connect and play.
The game is similar to Puyo Puyo 2ch (aka 2Puyo) and PuyoFura

You can host a server if you think there's too much lag. Open port 6121 on your router (TCP/UDP) and start LacewingServer.exe. Give people your IP address and connect to your own server by localhost or 127.0.0.1.
Puyo, backgrounds and sounds are customizable in Puyo VS. Place graphics and sounds in appropriate folders.
For music playback, place music files in the BGM folder. Or add folders with the music files in the folder list (change this in the launcher).

Q&A
- The screen looks funny!
Try a different display method. - The online game is laggy!
There are measures to counter the effects of lag, but in the end it all depends on your connection to the server. If you and/or your opponent live far away from the server, you may experience lag. There is nothing I can do about that at the moment. If you really want to play someone with less lag, you may want to host a server yourself (see above for instructions), or try a different server. - Why is my game running under 60fps!
Games made with Multimedia Fusion require high specs. Sorry.
If it's really bad, you may want to turning off "maximum special effects" in the launcher and turn on "Use default skin". Try the Standard display mode if needed. - Will there be Fever mode and other modes added
No. I made this game with classic rules in mind only. - Will you add character animations?
No. Voices were added because they do have value in competitive play. Puyo/background customization were added so you don't have to grow tired of them, so that's a bonus. Character animations however, are completely useless. So I'm not adding them. - Why can't I go into fullscreen?
It seems that for some people, the fullscreen version is very slow. Download the fullscreen version seperately. - The game crashes when starting a game
Try turning off the music. It has tendencies to crash. - What is the option "Alt. Server" for?
An explanation about using alternate servers: http://puyonexus.net/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 705#p27655
Do not be rude to other people. Ask before challenging someone and properly say thanks after playing.
Being a bad loser, spamming the lobby or any other kind of misbehaviour can lead to bans.
