We all love Petal Crash! Petal is a really fun take on arcade puzzle games by Friend & Fairy, a studio name so good that I'm only a little envious of it. The game is a love letter to the genre while also managing to be completely unique. Imagine those ice block puzzles, the ones where you push a block and it slides away. Petal is basically that sort of puzzle turned into a versus puzzler. When two Petals of the same color Crash together they explode and the blocks around them slide and can make further matches. It's very intuitive.
I want to go into more detail about the story here… but I actually haven't played all of the story modes in quite a while. I remember a lot of the basic details and the characters are all very charming. There's Lilibri the fairy of course, there's Strelitz, an angry demon child with the most supportive parents in the world- they're all a good bunch! Rosalia is probably my favorite. Each character’s story is sweet and fun and full of some fantastic in-between round dialogue, but I’m not trusting my memory to go too into detail. This website is a work in progress, so hopefully I’ll get around to a full replay soon and update this section!
I guess that leaves this page a little short for the moment, but I needed to have Petal on here as part of the site launch! It’s a wonderful game with so much love for the genre packed into it. Please look forward to Petal Crash 2!
