Included as additional information at the bottom. Covers the additions of a new animal and League Mode, and the lack of manual as a tutorial would be available in-game.

The game is isted as 70% complete (as of August 23). It is described as a competitive falling block puzzle game with animals and food as blocks, using pre-rendered graphics. New animals not seen in the arcade version are teased. The highlighted screenshot shows what happens when a player loses.

The game is reported as 70% complete, with the comment that the freshness of the rules is appealing. The gameplay rules are explained, with emphasis on BB Coins and chain reaction combos. A preview is given of the opening cutscene, though with only a single screenshot, failing to convey the animations which impressed the editor. In an interview with Sega AM3 producer Yoshiro Akata, he talks about what appeals to him about puzzle games, the new elements in the Saturn version, and the particular care given to the options screen. Unused animals and Akata's plans for the future are also discussed.

No rating was given, though the port was criticised for the loss of polish in presentation compared to the Saturn version.
