Pastel Muse

Overview

Pastel Muses (also known as Pastel Muse) is a cutesy tile-matching puzzle game developed and published by Soft Office for the Sony PlayStation exclusively in Japan on August 21, 1997, with a Sega Saturn release on October 23, 1997.

In Pastel Muse, players control one of two little critters (Puchisamaru or Banako) as they hop on a device to launch different-colored balls at different angles (based on how high they jump) towards the playfield, which is slanted downward in front of the character, in order to match balls of the same color. The game features a cutesy musical theme and heavy use of simplistic pre-rendered 3D.

The PS1 version of the game later received a budget re-release by D3Publisher as the 20th entry of their Simple 1500 Series (under the title Simple 1500 Series Vol. 20: The Puzzle).
