christmas tree :D

Good job! This was a neat game, charming and funny. I giggled when I saw the hero turn into just some guy.

If you do revisit this, I have a bunch of sentences you could add. Further down I get more nit-picky into grammar though.

• [there was a Gallafrey.]
• [Once there was a Gallafrey.]
• [Once upon a time, there was a Gallafrey.]
  
• ["You can never be psychic]
  • should count since ["You can be psychic] does
• ["You can be said.]
• ["You can never be said.]
• [Gallafrey bribed the noble]
• [Gallafrey bribed the corrupted noble]
• [Gallafrey bribed a noble]
• [Gallafrey bribed (...) despite orders]
  • for anything short enough to replace the (...)
• [Gallafrey bribed the orders]
  • order = group of ranked people eg knights or religious
• [Gallafrey bribed the corrupted orders]

I'm a bit confused if the punctuation matters. It looks like imperative sentences are only accepted if they end with an exclamation point? Allowing more general commands, we can get:

• [be a hero."] ["You be a hero."]
• [never be a hero."] 
• [be psychic] [be a psychic] [be the psychic] ["You be psychic] ["You be a psychic] ["You be the psychic]
• [never be psychic] [never be a psychic] [never be the psychic]
• [be said.]
• [never be said.]
• [cure amnesia.] [cure the amnesia.] [cure the hero's amnesia.]
• ["Don't hurt the princess]

The quotes in ["You can be a psychic] were never closed and the ones in [hurt me!" the princess cried.] were never opened. I'm guessing the idea is that punctuation only matters if it appears between words, not at either end.

Technically, an embedded quote doesn't have to make sense for the overall sentence to be grammatically acceptable, eg "He turned to me with a crazed look and said, 'Blue the was pluvowba.'" That probably goes against the spirit of the thing, but here are a couple I would still consider:

• [hero." the psychic said.]
• [me!" the princess cried.] 

If we allow structures that typically come in more special contexts, things like substantivized adjectives and null objects, we can get a lot more. You might have to bend your brain a bit to get them to make sense though:

• [there was a named Gallafrey]
  
• [there was a named] [Once there was a named] [Once upon a time, there was a named]
• [there was] [Once there was]
  
• ["You said]
• ["You never said]
• ["You can] ["You can be]
• ["You can never] ["You can never be]
• [the psychic said.]
• [The incompetent could not cure] [The incompetent could not cure the amnesia.]
  
• [The incompetent could cure] [The incompetent could cure amnesia.] [The incompetent could cure the amnesia.]
  
• [The wizard could not cure] [The incompetent wizard could not cure]
  
• [The wizard could not] [The incompetent wizard could not]
  
• [The wizard could cure] [The incompetent wizard could cure]
  
• [The wizard could] [The incompetent wizard could]
  
• [Gallafrey had the kidnapped] [Gallafrey had one kidnapped]
  
• [Gallafrey kidnapped] [Gallafrey had kidnapped]
  
• [Gallafrey had to rescue]
  
• [Gallafrey had one]
  
• [Gallafrey had]
• [Gallafrey bribed the corrupted]
• [Gallafrey bribed orders]
  • order = group of ranked people
    
• [Gallafrey bribed]
• [Gallafrey corrupted orders]
• [Gallafrey corrupted]
• [the guard orders] [the corrupted guard orders]
  • order = make a request
• [a noble orders] [the noble orders] [the corrupted noble orders]
• [a steed orders] [a noble steed orders] [the steed orders] [the noble steed orders] [the corrupted steed orders] [the corrupted noble steed orders]
• [Gallafrey ended] [Gallafrey ended his] [Gallafrey ended at last] [Gallafrey ended his last] [he ended] [he ended his] [he ended at last] [he ended his last]
• [Gallafrey found] [Gallafrey found his]
  
• [Gallafrey found last] [Gallafrey found his last]

Lastly, there are some examples of archaic-style syntax that you might try:

• [Once was named Gallafrey]
  
• [Gallafrey bribed not]

i got +90

use "Hbmmbgsfz csjcfe uif (dpssvufe) hvbse" (dpssvufe or not it doesnt matter)

lmao 32:53

so like

oh. my goodness

maybe im playing this game too much

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

That'd be great, make it official!

Also I learned to play around it normally (all you need is to not use the hold after a T-Spinsweep gets cleared) but there was this other weird bug I found where I think a piece turned invisible? Other blocks couldn't move into it, and its mines evidently still existed.

Update: I am learning. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nW9dxYQIjM8F-IGsWDyR2BhuX7XOZHfh/view?usp=shari...

Hi! Love the game! I've been grinding at it for a while, and my high score as of yesterday was right around 20 million!

However, there seems to have been an update recently that completely broke T-Spinsweeps? Here's a screen recording of a game I played just now; skip to the end to see the glitch. (The update reset my high score, and I have not been able to catch back up as I rely heavily on T-spins.)
