Thanks for the response! Yeah, it's intentionally a very different experience, and the changes to how garbage works are, beyond just trying to shake stuff up, primarily to give a greater deal of interaction between them and the spell cards. And if you didn't vibe with those, I can definitely see the system not clicking, especially if you're VERY used to panel de pon.
As for the blocks being a bit noisy and especially the sound effects not conveying enough, thank you double! It's already got my brain moving on ways to improve things. We have some desire to return to this a month or so from now to generally polish it more and especially to add online play, and I'll be sure to keep that in mind.
