Wasn’t mentioned yet: To get to Battle 66 you need the four medallions which are under the life bar.

D – Total damage taken under 2500
S – Score over 30000
T – Turns under 300
L – Life over 1000

The best strategy to get there is the one Glark described.

Wow, this is great. Somehow didn’t notice my life meter until the game ended. Wish there was sound for it.

I died to the final boss on level 60, score 99981, he pinkifies 2/3 of your guys in one go AND boosts power, accompanied by 2 healers.
I had no 4 in a rows and reload gave me nothing, I died having about 9k health.

(Try not bothering to attack unless you can attack with four of a kind. Make maneuvering into four-of-a-kinds your entire strategy and always Boost when you make one happen.)

ok I beat the game and as Glark said above, it can get a little bit broken once you find a winning tactic, but it was the act of finding a winning tactic that I had the most fun with. There is the core of something really special in here, and I’d love to see the idea developed further.
I always love when Japanese games get posted on fig because it means their appeal is gonna be obvious through the game’s design rather than through tutorialising. I’d be curious to know what the tutorial actually says, because for me the game’s fun came from working out the systems on my own.

I like how the enemies don’t just grow arbitrarily in power as you progress, they also get new abilities that they can use to go exponential just like the player (although in a slightly different way). I died to a party of rats? using attack up and healing until they were ridiculously strong.

Also, I found that skills with small requirements in units are generally preferable to stronger, 3-4 units skills. It seems to me that just being able to make the combo chain one step longer far outweighs the benefit of stronger skills. Maybe I’m wrong, I haven’t played with all the skills yet.

The enemies that turn your units into children are also a nice touch. It’s annoying, but I mean, throwing children at oversized rat priests? Priceless.

I just got to fight 51 and I don’t know why. I had enough blocks stocked up that i took no damage in the last fight, so that might be it?
184 turns, 20583 score. [d] [ ] [t] [l] under the health (no idea what they mean)
couldn’t tell you what exactly got me there!

oh man that last fight is really hard! I need to reshuffle my tactics just to deal with the fact that fight comes eventually. this game is so awesome.
