My biggest gripe is there's no \"hard drop\" option as far as I could tell - making my puyobuns drop faster requires rapid tapping instead. Minor gameplay issue, but nothing that can't be sorted out.\n\nSecond issue would be the time it takes the game to wind up. Things heat up quickly, to be sure, but I think the gentle start might be a bit *too* gentle, if you know what I'm saying? Maybe a lower point requirement to reach level 2, or a third puyobun color available from the start, would make the first minute or so more engaging.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1110905,"author_name":"LDJam user 4886","author_uid":"4886","epoch":1728810019,"text":"@ryusui Ah yes, I made the fast drop that way because I tend to press... out of stress? and make pieces drop where I don't want them. This way I could correct. But given it's been asked a few times I'll probably change to be instant!\n\nIn relation to difficulty and first level being too easy, I agree. Made it so during the jam people get the idea about combos. But pace should be a bit faster on those first levels. Maybe go to level2 as soon as you make your first match or something. \n\nThank you all for playing!","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1111159,"author_name":"ThaProfesional","author_uid":"thaprofesional","epoch":1728821710,"text":"Great graphics and smooth to play - feels really polished.
