Focus on: Pochacco Crazy Marbles

Help! Marbles are closing in on Pochacco from all sides, and he needs you to get him out of there!

What you need to do is to get at least three consecutive marbles of the same color together. You can grab the top one (or ones, if they're of the same color) and then throw it to whichever vent you want it to go to. Select which side you're going to take a marble from using the arrow keys. You can release it by again pressing which directional button you want it to go to. The marbles won't wait for you, though, because these will continue to keep coming at Pochacco until they reach him; at which point, the game ends.

There are special marbles that will aid you and Pochacco, and these can be easily seen, as they look slightly different from the normal ones. Activate these by again placing them with at least two other marbles of the same color. Depending on the marble that you get, any one of these might happen: all marbles will be cleared, marbles from that row will automatically disappear, or the marbles will stop moving for a few moments.

Focus on: Pochacco's Bank Game

Pochacco is now a big-time banker, and you are his valuable assistant!

The game is easy. All you have to do is to press the corresponding directional button for the kind of money your current customer is asking. The left, down, and right keys stand for the three kinds of money that you can give to your clients: gold coins and green and red bills.

The time remaining for you to distribute the money appears on the top portion of the game, as well as the number of customers you have to serve before your level goes up. Going up a level occurs automatically so you won't have to worry about a pop-up that will suddenly appear and make you lose your concentration.:D

Paying attention to what your customer is saying is the key of the game. Make sure that you've counted the right amount of money before you hand it to your customer, otherwise, you'll end up losing the game and make Pochacco one sad dog.

Focus on: Pochacco's Balloon Game

Spend a fun day at the festival by helping our favorite white dog hand out balloons to his many friends in Pochacco's Balloon. Sounds easy? Not by a long shot, as each animal has differing speeds and directions, and have awful tempers to boot! Better have their balloons ready for them, or they'll walk out on you!

Play the game now by clicking on the game title or on the images above. Make sure you get a SanrioTown account first, otherwise, you won't be able to!
