Do you like match 3 puzzle games, but often times feel frustrated by the lack of control? You spend time in your typical match 3 game scanning the grid, looking for one of a few limited moves you could make, not knowing what shapes will be dropped on you next. In Gravity Chain, you not only see the next shape coming, but you can place it precisely where you want by selecting the gravity direction and destroying the shape of your choosing. This means with every action you take, you have anywhere between 176-200 possible actions depending on the obstacles that are randomly generated with each level. Unlike other games, you can make multiple moves at the same time. Chain together matches to earn more points, which adds time bonuses. Clear the level of shapes before time runs out!

I've added a demo that has a number of new features: coins, timer, fan outline when not in use, lives displayed as jellies, and bonus lives for every 2000 points.

NEW FEATURES:

-Coins are randomly generated and provide an extra 50 points when collected. They could influence how you strategically place your jellies before each level begins.

-You now have 50 seconds to complete each level. If time expires you lose a life.

-A trace of the fan is not present when the fan is not in use. This shows you exactly where it will be at all times when you turn it on, so there are no more surprise fan caused jelly deaths for misjudging distance.

-Instead of a boring number, lives are now displayed as actual jellies so you can easily monitor your number of lives with your peripheral vision.

-For every 2000 points earned, you received an extra life (not to exceed 6).

I am looking for feedback regarding the game's difficulty. Is it too hard? Too easy? Should you be given more time? Should there be more obstacles? More or less lives?

Tip: Press the enter key to restart the game and load a new randomly generated level. You can see more levels this way to get a better feel for how the generator works without having to complete levels.

Thanks!
