Taisen Puzzle-Dama (対戦ぱずるだま, lit. "Battle Puzzle Ball") is a puzzle series developed by Konami.
The gameplay of the series is similar to other matching-based puzzle games, such as Puyo Puyo, being a battle game between one player and either a human or CPU opponent. Balls will descend down the screen, in colours red, yellow, blue, or green. These balls can be either "large balls" (おおだま, Ōdama) or "small balls" (こだま, Kodama), the latter of which appear "locked" in square boxes. Large balls are cleared if three or more are touching horizontally or vertically. When a large ball is cleared next to a small ball, that small ball is "unlocked" and becomes a large ball, and so can be matched with. If a combo of matches occurs, those balls are converted into "attack balls" (こうげきだま, Kougeki dama), which results in small balls being added to the opponent's side, in a different pattern for each character.
The ball types are as follows:
