Hello Webbie! So nice to read you again.
It wasn't luck my friend, you are getting better at the game! (Unconsciously at least). There is a lot of luck involved, I'm not gonna lie about that but from what I've seen with each of my friend's playthoughs is that they always get progressively better each time they play, especially if these are sessions right next to each other, they might not feel like it, but they always more points each time they play.
And yes honestly, the game is almost the same as before, there's a lot of behind the scenes work, some optimization (for mobile mostly), I changed the grid tiles of the arcade mode to a 7x7 grid instead of a 7x8 as it was before, added a music select option in the settings menu, etc. But overall it is mostly the same as I've been focusing more on the artwork and voice acting these past few months (I'm quite slow at that).
Here's a little sample :)
and some other stuff:
Sorry for the late reply, I got siick these last few days. I also played your game man! I'm gonna leave my comments in there too!
Thank you so much for playing the game again! You are the best!
