The game is simple: match three or more pieces in a row to reach the target score, beat the clock, break the barriers, collect accessories, and so on.  The tutorial lasts about 10 levels, but Luna will pop up whenever a new element is added. The game has the usual run of the mill power ups which you can earn through playing or buy through in-app purchases.  In addition you have 5 hearts which you only lose if you cannot beat a puzzle and need to retry.  The hearts restore after a certain amount of time so you can get back into the game fairly soon. 

Overall, the game follows the basic Sailor Moon plot.  You discover your powers, find your companions, beat bad guys, and level up. At the end of the puzzle you get some random Luna Bonus which allots you extra points. I still don’t understand the Luna Bonus (how or why), but all the pieces break one after the other and your score suddenly increases, and somehow you’re winning, right? Right?!? You’re also rewarded through unlockables.  Beating puzzles and certain levels with the right criteria allows you to unlock special powers and wall paper pieces.

Aside from the simple game play, the voice acting is done in Japanese but you’ll definitely recognize all those wonderful catch phrases (“Tsukini kawatte, oshioki yo!”) from the series which, I think, is a nice touch.

I recommend this game because, well, Sailor Moon.  The game is fairly addicting, and while it starts off pretty easy, it’s not so simplistic you’ll be blasting your way through every puzzle.
