I followed a plan that focused on getting as much squares on the board as possible, ignoring the placement of my clicks in the process. That didn't work quite so well. I got 316 but the later half of the game was pretty much random after seeing that my plan didn't turn out to be well thought out. :)\r\rIt has a simple but neat twist to puzzle games and it successfully gets the player in the mood.

I really appreciate it. What I've found to work well is to try to get as many shapes of one type on the board by "consuming" shapes near the edges, then going for the biggest combos. Scoring high requires some kind of strategy, but I'm not sure if I've found the best one yet.

I really think you did a good job here, in the 48 hours of the compo! It really feels like there's a lot of depth here, but I also tried curtamyth's strategy of just taking the biggest points until the endgame, and that netted me 723. Perhaps I was applying certain strategies and not realising it, but it could mean the depth is something of an illusion. The first thing that pops into mind would be having cleared spaces still count for the scoring to make the end game more lucrative?
