Ooh, this game is so good! I love how it shoves you right into the deep end and forces you to plan combos out a step or two in advance from the very beginning. The three-block and swap systems strikes a great balance between forcing your hand to make the worst of a difficult situation and giving you just enough latitude or control to manage the chaos. I felt like I kept stepping on my own toes but I was laughing through the pain, if that makes sense? Just daydreaming and watching the balloons float up as my plan comes together and being utterly oblivious to the next balloons that will completely blow that plan up. Using the birds as this unpredictable and exciting lifeline is such a sweet touch, too!
