Difficulty

Does anyone else feels that challenge mode is a bit too insane? I can consistently get to lvls 80-85, but beyond that... The game just becomes crazy fast and impossible to control.

Only 7% of players managed to complete the Basic Challenge, and it is a strange number for something called "Basic" imo.

I got up to 97 after like 20 tries. Try taking it slow unless you know you can get rid of garbage and need to act quickly to do it. Getting rid of garbage blocks is my biggest hurdle so far

98 for me :( I can hit 80s no problem. In mean time I been clearing the whole board around mid 70s and try to keep it that way so I can beat the challenge mode. Im getting close

tbf as a newcomer to Lumines I'm nowhere near any of those levels. I think even if you don't beat the challenge mode you're still really good.

I managed to beat the challenge yesterday (lvl 105 was the final), but it was insane, I felt some kind of anxiety for the rest of the day lol. They should definitly tweak the speed of later stages somehow.

I'm 27th place overall in the Shuffle mode, and I still haven't managed to beat the "Basic" challenge, haha.
Never had this issue with the original Lumines. When you get close to lvl 100 it's so ridiculously fast you can't clear any towers close to the middle of the field. And movement takes so long (the time from when you hold the direction and the piece actually starts to move), that it's impossible to do anything useful on the sides of the field.

I needed 2 tries. The first try just failed because of the combination of "Spirits" and color blindness. Helped to play more slowly and keep things low.

The silky smooth performance on PC really makes the faster speeds drop, well, faster. Playing Electronic Symphony after Remastered PC is like playing through a slightly slower filter now. There's really nothing to do but keep practicing your patterns and dropping squares after the timeline passes at least half the screen.

I can't even break pass level 20, so believe when I say that you don't suck at the game.

I on the other hand, suck very much. it's kind of disheartening to be honest. I know it takes practise, but I've never been that great at Tetris, or Puyo Puyo, so I'm not sure if I'll ever beat basic.

Oh well, at least the game's fun:)

Newest patch reduced the difficulty to more reasonable levels for the Basic challenge. Thanks devs! :)
