Magical Drop
Ca-ca-ca-can't make a combo to save my lifeGenre: puzzle - blocks
Publisher: Data East
Year: 1995
System: SFC
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
It's a match three game where you pick up and then drop tiles. The gimmick is great, like a reverse bust a move, but creating combos is very difficult. I've always enjoyed playing Magical Drop, but I just suck at it. I know how to play, I just can't figure out how to play well. So I always lose in versus matches and only last about 4 minutes in the endless mode. I can't even finish the 5th puzzle. I want to love it because it's fun and satisfying to slap the tiles down but I just can't do it.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
Modes include: Story, 2P VS, Endless, Puzzle I really wish there were difficulty levels because again I can't play it more than a few minutes at a time before losing.
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
Absolutely adorable setting. Like an Akira Toriyama designed medieval world. I like that you can see your character in the background art while you're playing.
Art Style Score: 4
Art Style Notes:
Super colorful and cartoony graphics. It lacks the effects of the arcade and Neo Geo titles. Otherwise looks pretty good.
Audio Score: 4
Audio Notes:
Lively music which matches the theme perfectly. The puzzle theme is way too short of a track so it gets annoying very quickly. But the sample noises sound great. Oh, and so do the voice samples.
Overall Score: 65
