Uo Poko is an arcade puzzle game developed by Cave and distributed by Jaleco. It has gained some notoriety in gaming circles for the Japanese variant's engrish legal warning threatening that copyright violators will be "prosecutedt to the full extent of the jam".

[edit] Gameplay

Uo Poko is a visual matching game in which one player or two co-operative players (represented by cats) try to clear the screen of coloured bubbles in order to progress to the next level. All the action takes place underwater and with each completed level the cats travel deeper in their submarine.
