Magical Drop III

This game is okay, though in my opinion it is overshadowed by the vastly superior Money Idol Exchanger. My main complaint is that the controls are just wonky. I understand a part of it: you cannot move while a ball is passing through the air. The time it takes for the ball to reach its destination is of course effected by its height, so you have to time your movements very carefully, as even a single input being lost in the middle of a long sequence of actions which have already been planned out can easily screw you up completely. Furthermore, this is not the only problem. I have done a fair amount of experimenting and it actually seems to me that sometimes inputs are ignored for no apparent reason. This seems to happen most often during big combos. There is also a problem in the endless single player mode where sometimes a ball that is thrown onto a bubble does not pop the bubble. This again seems to happen during big combos.

I could also talk about the story mode being all but impossible but who cares about that.
