Magical Drop II

What is Magical Drop II?

Magical Drop II is a classic puzzle game that test one's strategic aptitudes while forcing players to engage in rapid color-matching. Developed by Human Entertainment and published in 1995, it can be considered a spin-off of a Lumines series. Crazy colors, an electric tune, and superfast gameplay! Basically, you want to get rid of gems on the board by combining three or more of the same color. If they drop too fast, you are soon within one game over!

How to Play

Intuitive and rewarding, the gameplay consists of a smooth-time puzzle dynamism. A triangular panel at the bottom of the screen is moved by the player to the left or right and lets him put down a gem while gems descend from the top of the screen. The player rotates and moves the gems to construct 3 or more gem matches. The matching gems then disappear from the board while new gems fall from the top. The ingenious part of the game is going ahead and estimating one's possible next several moves, and at the same time, trying to clear as many gems as possible from the board before it gets filled.

Tips and Tricks

• Always Look Ahead: Ask yourself the potential match of a given drop.
• Clear In Layers: Try clearing gems from the layers to build cascading matches and clear more space quickly.
• Save Your Power-Ups: A special gem is created by matching four or five gems, which will clear large amounts of the board if triggered; keep them for tight spots.
• Keep Calm: The pressure builds as the game speeds up, so try and stay cool and focused.
