Does this look sharp and crisp on a Switch 2 or is it blurry?

Some Switch 1 games look terrible on the Switch 2

I was debating Steam or Switch but these types of games control so much better with the track pads.

The AI doesn't cheat:

Hi All,

I can definitely state that the AI in NO way cheats, nor does it know what gems are going to fall. I wrote the AI code myself, so I am 100% certain of this.

Look at it another way...
a) I am a programmer, so I'm basically lazy
b) Writing a cheating AI with look-ahead & multiple board evaluations is a LOT more work than writing a non-cheating AI that merely evaluates a single board
c) If I wanted to make the game harder, I actually would have done the LAZY thing and just given the monsters more Life Points

Cheers

-Steve

I kind of dislike the updated game world but the new board is good.

Anyone playing this on Steam Deck? If so how is it?

Thanks for the heads up! It's a no brainer at that price. Picked it up

It had its heyday during the PSP era.

Now those mobile games with YouTube ads have arrived, and it seems like one of them.

yea, it did have its heyday, but I would still say it's a top 20, maybe top 10 puzzle game ever.

And if you spend $10 on this, you dont get YouTube ads or scummy P2W mechanics likee those mobile games where the later levels are impossible without boosts. I stopped playing those mobile games when I ran into that in Bubble Witch.

This is exactly what I loved about the OG and hated in a lot of its mobile sequels and immitators. It wasn't trying to sell you anything except itself.

Most modern mobile milking machines make me break out in hives. I've been burned too badly too many times by a game with solid underlying mechanics and a decent progression that started fun but then gradually ramped up the skinner box past the point of toleration.

I know it's value added for whales (and the company, obviously), but the constant nickel and diming has more or less put me off F2P games for life. What distraction they offer just isn't worth it.

This isn't anything like 'Last War Z' or 'Whiteout survival' or one of those shitty games with ads of a man moving side to side shooting waves of zombies

I'll get this for Switch 2

Will wait for a physical Switch copy.

Doesn't it play best with a mouse or touch controls tho?

On the switch 2, really liking the touch screen for the game
