(cont) As I stated though, my biggest complaint is that you don't simple remove groups that add up to the target (9 or 11 or 12 or whatever), you only remove them if they aren't touching anything else. That's going to severely limit any potential this game has as the number of setups to score interesting ways is vastly reduced.

(cont) Also, there's no bonus for setting up multiple clearings with one drop (for example, a diamond of squares, then a circle in between them all for a cross of 9s). If the scoring was more interesting and took into account setups like this that you could generate, it would be a more interesting game certainly.

The biggest problem I had with the game is that the fundamental concept wasn't clear to me at first. You really need to state that shapes can't have anything else touching them to clear (which, btw, is a design decision that I do not agree with). For example, if I have triangle-triangle-gap-triangle-triangle, I expected a triangle in the middle to net me 3 sets of 9s. However, they all just stayed there looking dumb. I then realized after having screwed that up, I could work at them one-by-one by, for instance, place hexagons along side them. So I did that on the 4th one, then it gave me the 3 triangles after it removed my hex+triangle, however there was no bonus for getting a combo like that.
