GAF Impressions
So I finished the first 10 levels of Nekoburo: Cats Block, so here's some impressions/info:
- It's a somewhat standard tile matching game a la Puyo Puyo for better or worse.
- You can store powerups to clear horiz/vert lines or clear a 3x3 grid around a cat.
- Cats can also spawn with power ups.
- Story levels all have set objectives like clear this many of this color of cat, get this many chains.
- Levels switch up speed, color count and such to mix things up, good variety so far.
- There's ranks for the level, best I have is SS. Seems based on score not time, I cleared one insanely quickly and got a B.
- Music is pretty good and cute too, new track every 10 levels it seems.
- Story is simple and cute as expected. Fully voice acted...in Japanese. You can skip it if you prefer.
- You can play around with the cats with toys or drag them around at the home menu. Not a full on minigame but a cute distraction
- There's a "survival mode" I haven't unlocked yet but is probably the standard Tetris style endless level.
- There's some minorly awkward english but nothing that's prevented me from playing.
- Insanely adorable.
