Like resource management & puzzles?! this is the game. You are the manager of some amazing idols, and have to make sure they love their passion and don't get anxious about their work. Build rooms to meet their needs and complete the puzzles to unlock more girls!

You start small with just 1 room and 1 idol, assign her to this one to start generating income. Level up your rooms and idols and complete the puzzles to earn more resources. The final puzzle of each row unlocks another idol for you to take care of!

When you have more than one idol you can get them to work together and have fun lowering their angst. But being excluded from a collaboration can do the opposite!

Use the stars to rank up the girls, and keep doing the puzzles even when you get the girls!

Puzzles & Idols is a Hololive fan game created for HoloJam #6!

Controls

Home Management

• Click on room settings to assign idols to do activities to generate Appeal and Holobux (coin).

• Upgrade Idol levels using Appeal (heart), allowing them to generate even more Appeal!
  • Rank them up with Stars to raise their level cap.
• Upgrade Rooms using Holobux, increasing resource generation and delaying Angst generation (or hastening Angst reduction rate for the Break Room).

Puzzle

• Left click any piece on the grid and drag them around to create matches of at least 3 of the same pieces horizontally and/or vertically. You are able to hold pieces for up to 10 seconds before it drops at your cursor's position.

  • As the board refills after matches run out, more matches can form, further increasing your combo!
• Complete 'B' level puzzles to recruit talents!
  • Unlocks corresponding Collab levels based on your unlocked talents

Tips

The number of matching groups matters just as much as how many pieces are matched within that grouping! Each matching group increases your combo counter when cleared, thus further increasing the amount of points you get each time a group is cleared. Try to match as many groups as possible in one go and watch your combos go up!

• Your combos can continue even after all matches on screen are cleared as pieces fall down to refill the
