Summary
[Downloadable Game] Hidden deep within the Hotai forest lives a family of playful and mysteriously colored creatures known as Piyos. Every spring Mother Piyo, "PIYOMAMATM", lays eggs to fill the forest with new colorful Piyos. However, this year, in all of her excitement, she laid too many! In Piyotama, players help her hatch the eggs before they overflow the nest. Simply line up the colorful eggs, chain them together and combo hatch them. Lining up four or more eggs of the same color causes them to hatch. Piyotama is an excitingly addictive action-puzzle game for PS3. Easy to learn and hard to quit, Piyotama delivers fast puzzle gameplay in 1080p. Easy pick up and play – either solo or against a friend. Match 4 or more eggs of the same color to hatch the piyos. Hatch the rare egg to complete each level. Infinite Levels - Enjoy colorful characters, carnival music, and playful scenery in full HD at 1080p. Test your skills in timed play or play timer-free. SIXAXIS Wireless Controller - Nudge controller side to side to fill in gaps, and shake up and down to force matched eggs to warm and hatch instantly. Global Online Ranking - Perch your hatching skills worldwide. [SCEA]

Piyotama is a good little puzzle game that's available at the right price.

Great fun. It's simple and yet complex at the same time, allowing players to jump in quickly and have some fun while also providing plenty of depth for anyone who wants to really dig in and master the game.

Piyotama is a terrific value. At $3, it's just the kind of simple impulse buy the PSN needs, and hopefully this is a sign of things to come. Give it a shot, because honestly, who can't spare three bucks?

I wouldn't say I plan to play this game a lot after my first and in-depth gaming session, but it's one I'll keep in mind when I have some free time and feel like diving into some puzzling action.

It's cute, it's clever and it can be replayed a million times. Not fair that Europeans have to pay twice as much for this game as the Americans!
Read Full Review >TheSixthAxis
Piyotama is slickly produced, hugely addictive, and the perfect alternative to Warhawk.
Read Full Review >Eurogamer
A puzzler that's subtly rather than brashly innovative, and which has a wicked-looking chicken on the front.
Read Full Review >PSM3 Magazine UK
Laced with enough ingenuity to be worth downloading. [Jan 2008, p.79]
Play UK
Piyotama does its best to put a clever and unique spin on a tired format, but its tendency to reward shameless chancing considerably dents its appeal. [Issue#162, p.93]
Playstation Official Magazine UK
Once you've got the hang of it, it's gently addictive in the same way as eating a massive bag of jelly babies. [Feb 2008, p.98]
What Our Users Said
The average user rating for this game is 7.0 (out of 10) based on 4 User Votes
Note: User votes are NOT included in the Metascore calculation.
Joshua E. gave it a9:
Disgustingly cute with relatively deep gameplay is the quickest way to describe this amazingly valued, at $2.99, PS3 download. Its more similar to Puyo Pop or Super Puzzle Fighter than Tetris, with a challenging new combo mechanism. Piyotama is a fantastic value and a fun game to boot. The cute factor is out of control which can be good or bad depending on your taste.
Dave A. gave it a6:
Simple game to learn and fun for a short time. It's a game that you play every now and then.
Ian I. gave it a5:
Its a weak atempt (and failure) at an inovative tetris/connect 4 knock off, though possibly worth the extreamly low and reasonable cost of the game.
