Today I felt like doing some puzzle stuff. So y'know, I did.

Columns is a very special game, one of my favorite block stackers, though most of the sets for it are overtuned and mean. This one was kinda easy lol. I had absolutely no problems at all, and mastered it in an hour. Being able to get MOST of the achievements on easy mode REALLY helped, because I can just play easy mode indefinitely. All I needed to do otherwise was a little flash columns, also on easy, and getting to level 9 on hard, which wasn't too hard at all and I did first try lol

This isn't the best version of Columns. The music is pretty rough, and graphically it's nothing to sneeze at. But it's still y'know, Columns. So it's good!!

If you've NEVER played Columns, it's a quintessential block stacker, with what I call "Columns Clearing Rules". Three blocks of the same color in a row, diagonal, horizontal, or vertical. Aaaand that's it! Don't die! Simple, but effective. First time I ever played this game, I was like "I think I heard this was alright, it's kinda like Tetris I think?" then I played it for literally 2 and a half hours on the same life. That's when I discovered I'm actually WEIRDLY cracked at block stackers lol

Maybe some day I'll try the other Columns sets.
