The gameplay, which can be characterized as a combination of a fixed shooter and a versus puzzle game, uses combinations of shots, as well as timed power-ups to attempt to damage the opponent. These attacks also serve as counters to the opponent's attack.

Twinkle Star Sprites is the Puyo Puyo formula combined with the shoot 'em up genre and it works like a dream. The screen is split just like Puyo Puyo but the gameplay is obviously more akin to TwinBee.
