Soldam

is a 1992 tile-matching puzzle video game developed and published by Jaleco for arcades. It was only released in Japan in September 1992. It is a spin-off of Jaleco's previous game Rod Land. A Game Boy port was only released in Japan in 1993. A Nintendo Entertainment System version was completed but cancelled before release; Jaleco's successor City Connection released the game in 2025 in collaboration with Broke Studio and Omake Books.

City Connection released a remake, Soldam: Drop, Connect, Erase, for the Nintendo Switch in 2017 as a launch title for the console and the PlayStation 4 in 2019. Hamster Corporation released the arcade version as part of their Arcade Archives series for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in September 2021.

Gameplay

The player controls the fairies Tam and Rit as they clear rows of fruits to gain points in the manner of Puyo Puyo. The player drops a square of four fruits varying in color; if a fruit lands on those of other colors, they can change the color of fruits in a set pattern in a manner similar to reversi. When a full row of fruits are of the same color, they disappear and grant points. The game ends when the player fails to clear all rows after the area is full.

Reception

Morgan Sleeper of Nintendo Life gave the remake a 8/10 score, praising its variety in gameplay, online play and quality-of-life improvements.
