GIFT TEN INDUSTRY and asaha opened the Steam store page for Parapara Puzzle on July 31. The PC game, due in 2026, asks players to reorder scrambled frames of dot-pixel animations. It includes 36 stages, looped and story-driven animations, and collectible goods for a virtual shelf. The game will be playable at Tokyo Game Dungeon 13 on August 8.
Parapara Puzzle is a collaboration between GIFT TEN INDUSTRY, the studio behind the Madrika Real Estate series, and asaha, creator of the Heartreasure games. The puzzle centers on restoring animations that have been broken into individual frames, using subtle differences between frames and story cues to find the correct order.
The game offers 36 stages, ranging from simple puzzles to ones with more than 15 frames. Some animations loop, while others follow a narrative structure. After clearing a puzzle, players earn goods that can be placed on a shelf around the PC. Familiar asaha characters such as Dokodoko Usagi, Mendako, and Kaiten-zushi-kun appear.
Parapara Puzzle is planned for PC via Steam in 2026. It will be playable at Tokyo Game Dungeon 13 on August 8.
