The challenge will be to get the best score.

The time frame for posting high scores starts now and ends Sunday, 17 December at 23:59 CET.

The rules for the challenge can be found in the first challenge here. Good luck, everyone!

Thank you for featuring my game! Also, everyone make sure to get the new version of the game. In addition to fixing several trick detection bugs, there are new animations for falling tiles, and for the score increasing. The scoring formula has also been adjusted to increase the rewards for chain combos, so that higher scores can be achieved with the newer version than with the game jam version as-well.

Touch controls have also been implemented in the new version; although it is not easy to control the rotations with them. Maybe zooming in on the part of the screen touched could fix that idk? Do people think a 2 player vs. mode be fun to play and be worth making? Let me know what you think.

I like me a bit of Panel de Pon.

Kat

1984 is my best :) Great fun!

I tried playing it the way it should be played a couple of times, but didn’t manage to get a very good score…

Then I tried once to just click around randomly like a maniac. And then I got this score:

Gothon

@vinicity Yep, I think it is a combination of the time pressure with the fact that tricks aren't that hard to get from random moves. The strategy to play quickly and randomly works to some extent in Panel de Pon as well. Even so, my highest score is only 8984 which I got before loosing at a speed of 24. I don't know how you managed to survive until the speed hit 35!

mozipha

7704 is the best I've been able to do.

Kat

I thought I'd try Vin's method and made it to 8240 :)

Devieus

2080, I tried, but mostly didn't.
