What Planet Puzzle League is

Planet Puzzle League is a puzzle game developed by Intelligent Systems and released in 2007. It was published by Nintendo. It is available on Nintendo DS only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Use the DS stylus to grab panels and slide them left and right. If you match three or more panels of the same color, they will vanish. Form chains and combos to create cascading waterfalls of panels to rack up high scores! The basic game play is similar to the classics Tetris Attack and Pokémon Puzzle League, but the Touch Screen gameplay adds a new dimension of fun, giving Planet Puzzle League a bright new feel! This is the first game in the Panel de Pon series (in Japan) which doesn't have the traditional fairy characters of the Panel de Pon franchise.
