Hi there, one of the developers here.

The review is incorrect when it states there is no multiplayer mode. There is no AI opponent, and there is in fact a 2 player mode.

The reason for only playing the game on the GamePad is that using non-touchscreen controls is just too slow (we did have it in at one point)

  • it's designed for the GamePad's unique inputs, hence the platform choice of Wii U.

It's not mentioned in the review, but is a really key point and unique ability - the game allows the player to choose the grid's refill

direction on a per match basis. This allows players to plan moves in advance and build really smart matches like this:

Regarding the different modes, the standard 'High Score' mode focuses on building higher quality matches based around few gaps and many

pieces as shown above, while other variants are based on different types of territory control. They play quite differently (and actually

benefit from the kinds of matches that would net very low scores in the 'High Score' mode), like here:

I hope this helps to clear things up a little.

All the best,
