If the mods could change this to the not-joke "Puyo Tetris coming West (Switch/PS4) this Spring" that'd be great.

This but replace coming with journeying to insert a joke.

the different colored blobs are differently shaped and have unique eyes.

not sure how easy that is to read if you're colorblind though

There's another one that uses a color palette closer to viridis, but I think people still have trouble with that

That letter one should work. I'll give it a try when the game arrives later today.

PSA: If you have the Japanese PS4 version of Puyo Tetris, there's an update today which updates the Puzzle League and Online to support global play. If you wanted the online-only trophies, today's a pretty good day to knock that out.

This thread seems fine? It's a small enough genre that I'm not unwilling to hear about panel de pon or whatever else.

I decided to try out Endurance Tetris Big Bang on the default options in PPT. It turns out the endurance part refers to when your thumb gets tired, I got 36 opponents in without taking any damage and just went gently caress it and put my Switch down.

Also, I finished Adventure mode @ ~90%, but I'm still missing a couple BGMs. Do I need to finish 3 starring everything to unlock them all or are a few locked behind other modes?

Never apologize. You totally meant to do that sick chain. You could do it again, but you just don't feel like it right now.

I'm not entirely sure I understand but the top of the other players screen might as well read "you're hosed" when it happens.

You get those little clear bubbles to signal some minor trash coming down, then it becomes a junk puyo to signal a whole row is coming. A red puyo that signals like 4-5 rows are coming. Then it turns into a star because you aren't going to live. Then a moon because it's just rubbing it in at this point.

Thank you for digging that up. I love Yipes.

Yeah, this is what it feels like when I'm over there trying to put together like a 4-chain and my opponent just dumps an entire screen on me :v:. By the time the chain count passes 6 I can hear Yipes yelling "SCOOPS! SCOOPS HAAGEN DAZS"

It's very good. The story mode gets surprisingly hard sometimes, and the various weird modes are a unique challenge.

Interest check on a Goon Puyo Tetris tournament?
I'd run the bracket through challonge, double-elimination. I'd also advertise in the Switch thread so we have enough rubes players for a respectable bracket. I'm thinking on Switch, VS format for our first try, but if there's enough interest we can make a PS4 bracket as well. Thoughts? Suggestions?

I'm probably on board, but I'm not super confident in my ability to make it past the first bracket :v:

I'm in

Based on a dry run tourney I ran last weekend the biggest obstacle is the switchs inability to generate lobby invites, or communicate between players in any method whatsoever. So what you gotta do is force everybody to sign up on challonge using their Nintendo profile name as an alternate name, and also come up with a system to make and join lobbies. One way is to have the upper player on the bracket make the room and lock it with a code corresponding to the match number generated by challonge.
