This game is insane. Addicting and intense and totally fucking awesome. Any lingering doubts I had about picking up a DS a few days ago are totally gone.

I have the Japanese version, and I'm still debating on whether or not to get the English version...Regardless of what version you have, Meteos simply owns.
Just collect meteos and once you reach the threshhold for a planet, it will appear in the fusion menu. Some exceptions include the planets unlocked at 1 hour and 5 hours, and Meteo (I think you need to see 8 endings first). The whole list will be full in the end ... so 32.Stryder said:

This is one of the finest puzzle games I've ever played and probably my favorite since Tetris Attack. It's absolutely brilliant and incredibly addictive.
I'll respond to my own post, just because. LASTAR requires 1500 glow and 2 time.mosaic said:
I've unlocked every planet, except Meteo, because I wanted it to occupy the last spot on the list. I've gotta say, Meteos has hooked me much more than Lumines did, although I won't ever say anything bad about Lumines (it's great, it's wonderful; it just so happens Meteos suits me more).
All of these puzzlers coming out this year, man, really makes me wish someone would release a really good version of Tetris... kind of like Magical Tetris Challenge, only without the Disney license... or an arcade-perfect port of Puzzle Fighter (DS, PSP, i dont care)
PROTIP: You should know that you can send Meteos blocks up by flicking them up from the top of the pile. However, if you flick another one after it and the two colors are the same, they'll both explode and be cleared. Handy if you have a column that's starting to get a little tall and you can't find three for a vertical.

Just gotta spread more love. It's so freakin intense. I know the DS is just a stupid gimmick running PS1 hardware and whatever, but shit that little stylus makes the game eons more involving than it could possibly otherwise be.
I also catch myself tapping the top screen far too often.

Yes, a full-width boost... It's great. And also a necessary skill to learn, since one of the missions in mission-based startrip is to clear the screen at least once before winningetiolate said:
A full-width boost is also quite useful in getting a good 100 block Meteo Attack time.
GaimeGuy said:Don't forget Pac 'N Roll & Advance Wars: Dual Strike (and Nintendogs, if you want it) in August!
Yeah, I'll definitely be getting Advance Wars and Nintendogs. Pac 'N Roll looks really fun (and I read it was). Hopefully the final product is a little better than Pac-Pix (which was good, but only as a $20 game).
playing the 1000-meteos war my best time as of now is 2:41 minutes man I'm totally hooked with the time war mode I want to do less than 2 minutes in the 1000 meteos war mode 
btw is there in any thread where one can see the high scores of the people playing the game in GAF?

oh man it better be. I got ripped on pac pix
Damn, my meteos didn't arrive today either....
i just rented it without expecting to like it, but it turns out i LOVE it. generally i don't care for sliding-tile puzzle games of this sort -- i don't even like tetris attack -- but for some reason this is tremendous fun. launching blocks into the air rather than simply clearing them is awesome, and i love all the different planets and their different parameters. the space theme really works for me too. i'm not fond of the structure, particularly...i really wish there was a standard single-player mode where you progress through stages and are awarded a score. star trip is fun, but you can't really gauge your skill by it, and i don't like playing single planets. the basic mechanics place it among the genre's best, but without a good high-score mode, i'm not sure how long i'll stick with it. i'm buying it anyway...i guess there's that gamerush sale tomorrow? first good ds game, by my reckoning (another code was a bust...it's essentially a graphic adventure for kids...it plays out like resident evil without the zombies...several hours in a couple clever puzzles show up, and it seems like it's going to get good, but then puzzles disappear altogether and it turns into a crap digital comic for its final third or so. this is either a horrible design decision or a sign that the game was horribly rushed. avoid.)
The depth is not evident at first but it will slowly dawn on you.
Damn, I have been playing Meteos way too much lately. It's even kept me away from GAF. :lol
I have been fusing sound sets left and right but planets hardly ever come up. The sound sets now cost 1000 of a certain Meteos but I tend to have large stockpiles of these particular ones.

Why not? The second screen is pretty useless and with a mouse you could have essentially the same type of quick reaction if not better because you'd could actually gain accuracy.
STOP FUSING SOUND SETS. You have to accumulate Meteos in order to unlock planets for fusingIronclad_Ninja said:
If I were you I wouldn't fuse anything else until Meteo and Lastar appear on your Planet fusion menu. OK, maybe planets that are heavy in meteos you're low on. Hevendor is definitely worth unlocking
Why pretend to play things you haven't?Marty Chinn said:
But they're so damn tempting! Alright, I will take your advice and stop fusing sound sets. I think I only have one or two left anyway.jgkspsx said:STOP FUSING SOUND SETS. You have to accumulate Meteos in order to unlock planets for fusing

Something must be wrong with me and my twin brother. He couldn't get to sleep cause he started to see it play in his head. The next day, I closed my eyes a few times to see myself making moves in a particular level. It is just like my older sister who dreamt of Tetris or my older brother who saw Mog doing one of FF6's intermission things.
I'm scared, but I must play on! Hevendor is kickass, and I loath Gravitas and Vubble.

I too am susceptible to the Meteos hallucination / dream. When I stop a long play session, I'll start seeing phantom meteos here and there. It's especially palpable if I try to sleep right after, because I just see the game when I close my eyes.
Same damn thing happens when I play games like Tetris, Pokemon Puzzle Challenge, and Lumines too.

I've had a hard time sleeping some nights because whenever I close my eyes I keep seeing scenarios get run over and over in my head, on my eyelids.
I'll see specific situations where I need to get 3 off the ground then have a seconary ignition, then I'll ALMOST BE DEAD and get a vertical row off at the last moment. I'll realize my body is all tense, too.
I can't make it stop.
