As mentioned earlier, I'm considering a turn-based variant. Try this prototype (ie. gameplay, rules and URL are subject to change):

This is great. But I really wish it wouldn't eat my remaining moves because it doesn't see any moves available. The player can rather spend those moves organizing his pieces. As it is, currently the player must also think ahead whether any move will also make the game think there are no moves left, and immediately drop more pieces on top.


This is the best mode yet since it's not just a frantic rush.

You're onto something here.

I think the gameplay of this variant would be much deeper if the ticker only ticked when you didn't make a match.


or even potentially the counter goes back up for each mach. A single-match move would mean no change in the counter, while a combo move would drive the counter back upwards


I love this variant, though I'd give it a turn more until the next line drops. Currently it gets messy too early in the game.


This mode is a lot better and less frantic. Although when the next line falls it does break your heart :)


Thanks for this, for me this one is much more fun!


I also enjoy the game very much! The only thing that bothers me is the modal dialog at the end- with only options of get the app or restart. What about an option to simply close the modal? For some reason this bugs me. It might be important if you add a variable (faster speed, etc.) that I want to change before I restart.


YES, I like this much better. In particular I like the pieces dropping in from the top and ruining your hard work. The feel is completely changed from frantic pacing to more of a strategy. Very well done.


Nice. It feels like the linking of pieces starts to early, or is even unnecessary. It takes longer to finish a game without it, but the linking feels unnecessary.

Good work! This one I'd buy.


Great work, I'm addicted. Definitely would pay for an android version of this


I got to 20 and it just kept going and I lost!


At least you can get to 20, I'm playing on Android and my blocks disappear before I get there ;)
