You make 2 by 2 squares that the sweeping line clears out. If you go over the top of the playfield, you lose.

Simple, really.

Note: I am not a pro; you want to be setting up huge conglomerations just ahead of the scoring line. I just like the challenge of going for the "only one color"/"clear board" bonuses.

It's also the only game so far where I explicitly prefer the joycons, and separated at that.

Slime-san and Detention are both on sale, I don't know what that means for other regions but for AU they're both a bit under $10 each. Very different games but both really cool

If you enjoyed Celeste, definitely check out Slime-san sometime. It's a great little platformer packed with #CONTENT and a lot of weird charm

So who knows, basically.

I got one after everyone recommended it and I'm still getting used to it but it seems good :yeah: I didn't want to ruin my hands completely playing smash handheld

I didn't like the stick cover thingies though, they were too squishy and made playing smash awkward.

Have any of you had to do any fancy voodoo to get the Switch to see the USB LAN adapter? I got one with the AX88179 chipset the Switch is compatible with (this one, specifically), but it just won't detect the thing. Works fine on my PC, and both the ethernet cord and the USB port on the Switch dock have passed all tests. Nothing appears to be broken, but the adapter doesn't even light up when connecting it to the dock.

Align the colors to match, and make big shapes before the music line clears them. You can keep adding to a shape if you stay ahead of the clear line for more points, but if you make any additions to the shape behind it they won't count. The change from a fast song to a slower one can mess you up, because you have to account for your shapes not disappearing right away. Fun game, but some of the songs are just grating to me. Still love Shinin' though.

Oh this makes sense. I thought there was a component involving timing your clears with the music.

We may have finally found unobtainium but I will never find eywa.

Some more good games have gone on eshop sale today. Night in the Woods and Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove are both on sale if for some reason you haven't played these very good games yet. Also Ninjin: Clash of Carrots is 70% off and it seems like it might be pretty good.

Any idea how it compares to the Skull grip case? The skull is kind of a pain to take on/off and apparently isn't compatible with the proper D-pad controller I've been interested in getting. Otherwise it is pretty comfy.

Love this game. Basically you're hard dropping blocks to make squares of 4. The more squares of 4 you can make before the white line (timed to the music) crosses over the board, the bigger your combo

It lets you play a while before it gets hard, and the music is great

This is why you need to put your Switch in the oven after applying the screen protector before turning it on; it dries out all the water from the shower
