You can also choose a starting level, which affects both how quickly new rows of pieces appear at the top of the screen and the number of points you score for creating successful matches. Firstly, Drop-Drop requires you to create stacks of five objects rather than the three of Magical Drop, and secondly there are a lot of options to tweak how the basic single-player game modes, rather than the selection of discrete game modes that the later Magical Drop games have.įor example, you can choose how many different types of pieces will appear in a game, as well as the overall width of the well. In this case, it’s a Russian MS-DOS puzzler named Drop-Drop, which released in 1992.ĭrop-Drop is immediately recognisable as what would become Magical Drop through its basic mechanics of grabbing coloured objects and attempting to create columns of them, but there are a few notable differences. Like any good commercially successful puzzle game, Magical Drop is a ripoff of something else. So let’s kick off, shall we? Drop-Drop (1992)

So in lieu of being able to talk too much more about the upcoming new game, I thought we’d take a brief look back at the history of the mainline installments in the series - including where it came from in the first place. There’s also a mode called “Path of Destiny”, but this hasn’t been explained as yet.



It seems there will be a variety of game modes on offer, including a timed caravan mode, a puzzle mode and a story mode as well as the main versus option. Highball Games is a French developer whose English language option doesn’t work on their website, while Storm Trident is a Polish outfit whose previous titles include dinosaur-themed platformer Tiny Hands Adventure and tower defence title Assault on Metaltron, both of which are relatively little-known but fairly well-regarded indie titles for PC.ĭetails on the new game are relatively thin on the ground at the moment, but the new trailer shows that the game features a high-definition anime-inspired art style with animated characters, The World’s titties present and correct, and Empress still being everyone’s favourite bondage queen. The new game is the work of publisher Forever Entertainment and developers Highball Games and Storm Trident, both of whom are subsidiaries of Forever.
