Pochi and Nyaa

Pochi and Nyaa (ポチッとにゃ〜, Pochittonya〜) is a puzzle video game developed by Aiky (continuing on from Compile) and released by Taito towards the end of 2003 for the Neo Geo.

A detonation will send nuisance pieces over to the opponent's grid, with longer chains and branching paths increasing the power of the attack.

A player loses when a piece lands in the top-center square of their grid, represented by a skull.

Pochi and Nyaa was announced under a commercial alliance between Compile and Taito, and was initially scheduled for release in mid-September 2002, running on the NAOMI arcade board.

Prim receives an invitation from God promising pumpkin pudding as a reward, so she joins the Pochi and Nyaa festival and competes against various opponents.
