Thanks for the confirmation, I thought there'd be a screen size issue or lag or something. It's occasionally awesome to be wrong :)

screen size will never be an issue unless you are comparing XL to normal size which has little to do with which generation 3DS you are using
super interesting. Nintendo should hire you! :P
They probably have enough janitors.
As an aside, the post-contest update is mostly done and should be posted on the 9th. I'm happy with the 4 additional paddles I've thrown in (One will replace the standard, ie shoot missiles. Another will allow you to slow time. Another still will allow the ball to phase through bits, and the last will reward clearing bits with a matching color ball)
These paddles will affect gameplay in a few other ways, but the major focus is specializing in a certain power up or augmentation for each, as opposed to how similar games drop random pick-ups from block-clearing.
Anyone got a suggestion for a power-up/gameplay tweak? I'd like to have at least 9 paddles for the sake of variety in the upcoming Dungeon mode.
Nicely polished high energy game!
I thought your name sounded familiar. I looooooove Tiki Descent and play it daily. That makes your praise worth a lot to me. There's very few game devs (like 4 or 5) that inspire me to do better around here, and you're one of them. :D
cujo. Is he not appearing in the comment chain?
he's not appearing in the replies
Oh, I double replied because I'm quite slow and it hit me too late who he was. Then I had another bout of slowness and posted without an edit. If it isn't painfully apparent, I do not normally participate in forums so the etiquette and fancy editorial techniques will take me some time to pick up.
believe me, your much better then many others if not almost all of them.
(blushing) ... thanks for the kind comments about Tiki Descent! What struck me as I was playing Pictoblitz was how brilliant the motion of the ball was - and how compelling the sound/visual effects were as the game progressed. This immersive experience compelled me to keep playing (even though I find the game to be difficult!)
I get that a lot. (the difficulty) I find it super easy so long as you can get the paddle to activate, but maybe that's creator bias.
It should be more balanced with the new paddles in the post-contest update. In fact, they may make the game too easy, outside of the Dungeon mode I sort of have fleshed out. Either way, thanks again for giving my game a shot :D
i was thinking circle pad support would be nice to move the paddle around, as i am much more used to using the circle pad for games like these.

Can't believe I didn't do that already. Can and will be added to the post contest update, along with gyro if I can iron the kinks out.
Trying to figure out a simple way players can share each other's custom stages, as I'm sure nobody wants to retype all of those numbers and commas. I could convert and compress the data into a hex$ or the like, but that would amount to what I think is still too much effort and room for error.
I'm sure that there is an efficient solution to this problem, but it is evading me. Any suggestions, smart people? A penny for your thoughts...
