Any word on this getting a NA release, yet? I might have to go ahead and order this...
yeah, its easy to play. Basically two modes. One is against the clock where you try and clear successive lines as they fall. The other is a nice puzzle mode where you have 100 puzzles to clear, and you can only draw one continuous line (hence 'one line puzzle')
Very playable to non-japanese, but the menus take a bit of working out. Basically the top right one is puzzle mode, the top left is challenge mode. Others are options and edit mode (you can create your own puzzles too)
I like it, and at that price -$5 you'd be crazy to miss out.

Yay! My 3rd DS game (and first Japanese one). It seems like they're doing weekly specials on DS/PSP games mostly now, right? I'm hoping for some more DS ones.

Mine came about 5 days ago. I love it. I mostly play the never-ending (1000 line?) mode... I kind of suck still. I can only get to 400 lines. One gripe is that it's hard to come back if you fall behind in this mode. It's definitely less forgiving than something like Tetris.
On the puzzle mode where you have to clear the screen in one swipe, I think i'm in the 40s or 50s.
I didn't try multiplayer yet.
Everyone should buy this game, basically. It's easy to learn & really addictive. It made me stop playing WarioWare & Mr Driller! If I hadn't started KOTORII I am sure I would have played it even more.

I'll give some quick impressions as to how it plays, since the production values are so low-key that they're almost nonexistent. There are two modes that I've played, basically (with a few I haven't really tried, including multiplayer). The first one looks like this:
In this one, groups of lines (from 1 to 4 at a time) drop down from above. The object is get an entire line of black or white. You have to draw over a block to flip it. The borders are free spaces that you can move your stylus along that never fill up with blocks.
You draw a line by dragging the stylus. You can start a new line anywhere, but a line can't cross over itself. When you are done drawing a line, tap the last block it covers to flip any tiles that it crosses.
This is a very fast paced mode. You can also go into a mode that lets you start at any group of 100 (say, 300 lines) to practice that level for the main game. The patterns aren't randomized, which sounds worse than it is.
Here's the second mode. The object is to clear the whole board while only drawing one line. It gets progressively harder, and new puzzles are unlocked in groups of 10. I think there are 100 to clear, though more might open up when you beat those.

This is a great game--I just cleared all 100 puzzles earlier today. I think it's weird that they let you turn hints on and off with no apparent effect on your progress through the mode. I haven't broke 400 lines yet, but mainly because I've been hooked on Daigasso! Band Bros.
Has anybody had trouble with their touch screens with this game? Mine often clears the line when I don't want it to. I'm tempted to blame it on this Pelican screen protector--things started to seem fishy about a day after putting that on. If anybody has had any similar troubles with or without the protector, let me know--I'm starting to get worried. Or if anybody knows how to get the freaking thing off, let me know too.

How do you turn on hints?!?!?
I am about 60 puzzles through. I wish I knew about the hints! :lol
I haven't had any fishy touch screen issues, for the record, though I've sometimes accidentally tapped the screen & not been able to draw a new line, causing me to lose! :-/
Gamefaqs finally got around to putting my faq up:

The hints are the little buttons at the top of the Checkmate mode screen. Especially seeing your previous path helps a lot.
I haven't had any issues with the touch screen, and I got the hori screen protectors on... maybe it's the same issue with the DS that caused sawaru wario to not work properly?
