    jp's Touch Panic (DS)

    [August 15, 2024 10:47:09 PM]
    This one's pretty fun - though my lack of understanding of Japanese writing means that I wasn't able too make too much progress. Basically you have to guide a ball along a path - which you create by sliding tiles (like those sliding tile puzzles). The ball moves automatically on the path and you can tap it so it zips faster. If it gets to a "dead end" it just turns around and starts rolling back along the path. I really like this part, to be honest, because it means you're juggling stuff without the impending doom that other similar games have (ie. you get to a dead end and you lose).

    That doesn't mean the game lacks challenge though! You have to roll the ball along and pick up other little balls (that also roll around) - IN THE RIGHT ORDER - and then roll the whole lot into the "endzone" tile. At first it's easy because you just need two hearts (the balls have little symbols on them), and it's not that hard. But, if you get the order wrong or don't meet the minimum you lose a life and have to try again.

    That's where I got to the point where I had to stop because I couldn't figure out what the goal was and in which order. I don't think it's the order the balls appear, and at times it seemed like the interface was saying one thing - but then I did not do that and still cleared the level?

    Anyways...I had to stop playing because I'm too lazy to figure out the goals and after spending 10 minutes online I haven't found a "translation" that helped.

    Oh, another feature that makes the game feel less mean and more friendly (but still challenging) is that if you've picked up the balls in the wrong order or something - you can slide a panel as the lot is going from one tile to another and "slice" them so that they split up! I discovered this by accident!
