Magical Drop III/Gameplay
Basic movements
In Magical Drop, the player must stack 3 ballons of the same color to make them pop and pop all other of the same color that are connected. The player moves a clown on the bottom of the screen with left and right and collect or release ballons from the playfield. Like in most puzzle games, when a column reach the bottom of the screen, the game is over.
Magical Drop 3 plays with 3 buttons.
- pick a line of ballons of the same color from the field. The clown can hold any number of ballons but only of one color at a time.
- will release all the collected ballons on the field.
- will make a new line of ballons appear on the top of the field.
Once 3 ballons of the same color are stacked on the same column, they will pop. All other ballons of the same color near the popped ones will also pop.
Chains
Unlike other puzzle game, speed is emphasised instead of big columns. If the player makes an other column pop while the first is still popping the ting will sound in higher pitch. In versus mode
You can create chains by popping ballons horizontally or by collecting and releasing other ballons very quickly.
