  Interesting arcade puzzler to keep you entertained. Not much to say really if you watched the trailer, Connect 3 or more colored squares of the same color cardinally, but you do this by moving in one of said directions while always dropping a colored square to where you move. Technically, you don't drop squares "behind you", but upon moving a 2nd time or in quick consecutive motion, it gives that illusion. The gameplay is solid and the music is pretty nice, so it's definitely worth the money. That being said, since there's not much to talk about, I'll just post several feedback or wishes regarding the game if this will ever get updated, mostly related to the UI and one for gameplay: Gameplay: There doesn't seem to be any incentive to chain combos. Currently you seem to get a bigger score (or maybe multiplier gauge?) for destroying 4 or more squares at once, and I only know this because a sound effect plays and a text shows up to appreciate my efforts. But chaining consecutive combos of 3 squares don't give any visual feedback like destroying huge chunks do. Which is a shame, because I think it's a rare occurrence that feels rewarding when it happens. I just had a combo of destroying chunks of 3 like 4 times in a row, and nothing happened. At least making 3 clears in a row should give the player something, to be honest. UI/General QoL - There doesn't currently seem to be any way to pause the game, so if you suddenly have IRL matters that forces you to be afk (like seeing a spider on your wall), goodluck with that. Leaving it on afk doesn't kill you of course, but it does bring down your score multiplier, which sucks a bit. Pressing Escape, Space or Z or P should pause the game. I don't mind having a non-transparent pause menu, I just need a pause menu. - The "settings" menu doesn't have "warp" like main menu does. Normally, if you constantly go through all the buttons in the main menu in one direction (say, to the right), at the very end, you would "warp" to the very first option on the left edge. This somehow doesn't apply to the settings menu when you constantly go down or up, instead it's as if you're getting "bounced back" to the middle option. Not a big deal since there's only 3 options, but still seems like a lack of polish. - I wish the "levelling up" from "experience points" award us with different cosmetics, such as for backgrounds in-game, different looking pieces / colored squares, different looking boards, or different "character" / the moving border we control. All it seems to give currently are just avatar pictures which you can only view in the main menu. Not even in the gameover screen. Feels a bit pointless in that regard, but they do look somewhat decent. All in all, it's still a decent game for what it is, and this huge discount is nice.

  All the game needed to be amazing was to allow diagonal & side-by-side matching to continue the pace outside of your grandparents sudoku. Diagonals set the pace with the music, EDM is the BGM so you naturally expect to keep the score flowing. Score flow is its weakness, its more stiff than the videos show. I don't recommend this game even on sale, its just a HS project, or a low budget cash grab, (take your pick) Blipz had little thought and design placed into its longevity, and was base simple design as a focus. There is also No in game remapping And there is No controller support Setup is very basic The first 4 colors are dropped with 3 sames, & you feel locked in because of the random algorithm right after, every so many moves and you get another 4 with 3 sames. There is just fake excitement paired with bad pace, it feels more off than on as far as fun. If you want something that flows better I suggest "Tetris Effect: Connected" on sale or "Flipon" or "Mixoluma" or "Bejeweled 3" or "Planaris 2+" or "Anode" Any of those listed above are just more thought out contain a better longevity, an scale with attention to detail and fun.

  Really good match-3 arcade game, music is great, the game contains different game modes, and let me tell you the game itself is pretyy addictive 8/10.
