Pyromania is a Tetris-genre falling blocks game that is most similar to the Puyo Puyo series of puzzle games. (This game has no relation to the Pyromania Bomberman clone which bears the same name.) The goal is to rotate and drop pieces which fall in sets of two, in order to form lines of 4 or more of the same pieces. When you make a match, grey blocks fall on your opponents' side which makes clearing the blocks out more difficult.Pyromania (1997) is a DOS game developed by Epic MegaGames (now Epic Games). It’s a puzzle-action game where players control a character who must strategically place bombs to destroy walls, collect treasures, and defeat enemies. The game is known for its fast-paced gameplay, challenging levels, and retro charm.
