Thanks!
I've actually never seen Magical Drop till you mentioned it, very cool game. I was actually very inspired by the Bust a Move games on N64, which look to be a variation or sequel of Magical Drop! I also figured these mechanics were so simple that someone somewhere must have done exactly this (Critter Crunch).
Sometimes I think my ideas are super original, only to find out some SNES game had the same idea lol
EDIT: I suppose it's possible I've seen Magical Drop at some point and don't totally remember... *shrug* lol
