It seemed somewhat erratic - sometimes it would clear the entire colour-matched block, other times it would ignore the same colours on the side and only clear the 3 blocks in the middle.
I prefer to use the arrow keys, not A and D (so I can play with my right hand).
It gave the impression that there was a large playing field, but the game play only happened in a small section of the screen which was initially confusing to me.
Thanks!
I’ll add arrow keys and a visual cue for the bounds of the playing field.
Regarding how matches are cleared: I originally tried clearing whole blobs of one colour, but it felt too easy and not very strategic. Right now it clears lines of three or more - horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. Overlapping lines are allowed, but for example, two blocks sitting next to a three-block match won’t clear unless they’re also part of a line of three. I’ll think about how to make these rules clearer in-game so they’re easier to pick up.
So:
□
□
□ □ □
→ clears completely
□
□ □
□ □
→ only the three on the left clear
□
□
□ □
□ □
→ the four on the left clear
