Thanks for playing. I’m glad you liked it. I tried to be faithful to the original.
I agree that the game is really hard for beginners, but it actually gets too easy once you get really good at it, since I’m not increasing the difficulty over time. I think that a good balance for both beginners and advanced players would be the game starting at an even slower pace and increasing the speed up to something that’s much faster than the current one. The number of bombs also seems too high. This needs some fine tuning.
The way it is now, I can actually play indefinitely.
@sbmrgd@Vampirics I’ll include persistent highscore as soon as I can. @Vampirics I’m very open to pimping the look. Do you have any immediate suggestion?
@jonne
In addition to the @Vampirics 's hint, notice that if you are not carrying any piece, you can rearrange the last three pieces in a column. But doing so can be a bit expensive (in terms of time).
Yep! And they give you double of the points!
Every piece with a + sign inside gives you 20 points, and empty pieces give you 10.
The first four pieces that initiate a chain give you 10 points each. All other pieces in a chain / combo give you 20 (except pieces that are eliminated due to a bomb being triggered. Those always give you 10. But during combos, bombs are triggered only after 4-groups are matched).
Edit: but yeah… while the game is frozen after a match, you can still play and eliminate more pieces and increase your chaining score, since every new piece gives 20 pts. The only restriction is that you cannot move any piece that is already matching.
