Gematombe

I had to rewrite my review after playing this game more. Initially I thought it was a bit too slow, but I am super addicted to the endless mode which does get faster and faster as you progress. If you like arcade puzzle games I highly recommend this one

I love ball and paddle games that reinvents the genre (checkout wizorb) so I was pretty excited about this game. I purchased it on release and boy what a mess. It stutters like crazy on my steam deck which is surprising since it's only a 1.5 GB game. Also and the onus is on me for this one since I bought day one, but the controls on gamepad/deck is wishy-washy at best there isn't even an option to recalibrate controls. Maybe wait it out until the dev updates again. but for now I can't recommend.

It's a classic arcade game that provides some solid fun, with colorful graphics that are a nice homage to Puyo Puyo and Magical Drop. My only real complaints are that the story mode is too short (Given that there's only 6 chars + secret), the music could have a little more punch to it, and some things aren't explained in the tutorial (Namely, the rules for clearing multiple blocks with one hit and chains). Still, it's a nice game, it's well done, and has lots of personality. 6.5/10, please gimme a sequel with more characters!
