Class of '09: Puzzle Showdown

this ♥♥♥♥ is so ass, its clearly a cash grab, good lord who asked for this stupid ♥♥♥♥.

Overall, I like this game. I don't usually play puzzle games like these, but given the Class of '09 theme and getting to hear lines from classic characters, it's a pretty good game. I don't think it's worth $20 since there's less story content than expected, so try to buy this on sale. Areas of strength: I like the wide variety of background music across the game menu and during the puzzles. I also like that the shock value kind of humor is still here because it's my favorite part of the entire franchise. On top of that, there's the little cheers you hear when you or the opponent get a chain combo which add even more flavor to the game. When it comes to Weekend at Kelly's, I felt that all the endings made sense for Kelly. Without spoiling, I'll say I got to every ending and thought, "Yeah, that makes sense. I see how Kelly could get here in life." The stories here were definitely more cohesive than some of the endings in Class of '09: The Flip Side. One final thing I want to add is about the difficulty. I felt the range of difficulties was good. I found myself breezing through the Nicole campaign (except spending 18 minutes against Coach Colby) without any retries, but the Emily campaign was a brutal slug, taking me 48 retries to complete. I also managed to complete the Nicole + Jecka campaign but it still took 15-20 continues or so. Cons: What would I improve? Maybe offering an in-game tutorial for those not familiar with puzzle games. Although I read all the "About" and "Credits" and "How to Play" sections before starting to play, it's unwise to assume everyone has the time or patience to read. On top of that, not everyone learns visually/by reading instructions. I. for one, learn by doing, so an in-game tutorial would make the game easier for everyone to learn. Also, "underwhelming" is the word I would use to describe the first 5 of the 6 ending cinematics. For the players not skilled enough to complete all the campaigns, it's going to feel awfully anticlimactic completing the campaigns. I too was hoping they would at least be longer. For Weekend at Kelly's, I would add a place to see which of the 8 endings you've already gotten, just like in the story trilogy games. For online multiplayer, rather than only a join-by-code system, there should also be a way for the game to match opponents based on who is currently online. This means you wouldn't have to have friends who play this game to enjoy multiplayer.

oh my god this game is not worth 20 dollars bruh

I love the game, the puzzle is really challenging.

thought this was gonna be sum ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ baby puzzle game but this genuinely hard asf. my brain is MUSH bruh it cant process whats going on i cant "chain" tf is chain bruh??? and what even is "panel de pon" this ancient ass fossil of a game why would that game be his inspo? who was he tryna cater to, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GEN X? 20 bucks n 5 hours of my life wasted tryna power thru to see if i could get the hang of it cus no way is some dumb block game that hard but turns out, IT IS. i guess this is karma for piratin the re up and flipside.. sorry

I like this game because I like Panel de Pon/Puzzle League. This is essentially just that with an edgy skin on top of it. There's not enough story to call it a "new" game. It's just the easiest way to play Puzzle League online on a modern system. I'll probably buy it again when it's a reasonable price. This is not a $20 game.

Am I really the only one here that realizes this is supposed to be a Pokemon Puzzle League clone? I've wanted this for so long for just someone else to make another game like this, and so far they got the mechanics down perfect. If you're someone that's wanted a modern Pokemon Puzzle League where you could play with your friends online, this is it. That being said. They shouldn't say this is a competitive multiplayer game without any kind of auto-matching system, or ranking system. Please, put this in the game and it'll become the definitive way for people to play Tetris Attack/Pokemon Puzzle League against each other.
