    Redeemed AET4TEA6L9NE. Thanks!

    Edit: OMG! I just played a few rounds and I'm loving it. I'm not very good at it with a score of 38, but this is a fun twitchy game. It gives me a panicked feeling, but in a good way- normally I get too stressed out under timed conditions, but not with this. Can't wait to find more time to play this after work...

    FFFE63YHYJW4 thank you.

    The tutorial felt minimal but clear, there's no confusion as what you need to do and feels like a two handed version of teggle.

    Certain squeals you have to tap to clear, others you swipe, some you rotate, but here your supposed to clear two squares at a time and it feels like patting your head and rubbing your stomach type thing, it's actually quite challenging to swipe with one hand while rotating one with another. Add in the time factor and it's bloody difficult.

    When I started the main game I initially used one hand as it was habit, (fro playing so much teggle) it appears these were recognised as correct moves and I got a score of 80 plus.
    I made a real conscious effort of using two hands and my score was a lot lower. Obv because I was taking more time to think about which two to clear together but I know I'll get better with practice.

    What I'm asking is what's to stop someone just playing with one hand to get the points easier/quicker? Or is it a case that only certain pairs of squares need to be cleared with two hands,if this is the case I think it should be explained in the tutorial, I noticed in the tutorial that squares wouldn't clear unless you actually cleared two at once.

    I read that there's no Iap, would you consider one for ad removal?

    I know I sound negative which I don't mean too, I'm just confused as to how the scoring actually works. Game is great fun playing with one hand or two.

    Thanks for your feedback! You actually don't need to clear two squares at a time, but it is highly beneficial to do so when they are two of the same kind of square...

    This mechanic is kind of the game's "hook" and it's the key to getting a high score. I was hoping it would be a rewarding "ah ha!" for the player if it is hinted at but not explicitly explained, similar to the "make a square" combo in Dots.

    Sweet, thanks for the explanation and thanks for the question, Cloudpuff. I played a little bit more and kind of got an idea about what you said. I love the double handed swipes! I can't wait to really sit down and give this a proper playing.

    A ha, it makes perfect sense now, thank you for explaining it to me. I was making it harder than it needed to be by going for two different squares thinking as it's more difficult it would be worth more points but I totally get the combo thing.

    I noticed sometimes a square will have a flashing border, is this like a timer as in you need to clear that square quickly before the others?

    Everyone, I've added five more promo codes, again please respond when you use one!

    Squares will start flashing if they aren't cleared, and if a square flashes too long it's game over. The square the flashes most prominently is the one that has the least amount of "time" left, so you should clear that one first (unless you can get a combo). Hope that makes sense.
