ok knocked out a couple runs of story mode in Magical Drop 2 earlier, on medium only continuing once and then on very hard continuing.... quite a bit more times.

Anyway some advice for people if they have trouble. It's basically the opposite of something like Puyo Puyo where you have to set up elaborate combos. Instead, you need to keep making matches on the fly to continue the combo. Before you start matching things, look for columns of 3 or groups of 1-2 pieces of the same color right next to each other. If you do it right, the pieces should stay on screen for a short while after you match them since only one group gets cleared at a time. If you play the solo mode you can see what I mean. There's often columns of 3 pieces right next to one another so you can grab one column and immediately put it back to match it, take a step over and match the column next to it, and so on to get a big chain. It's also pretty easy to make a chain if you match a powerup.

The number of pieces you clear and simultaneous clears of different colors don't increase the number of garbage lines like in puyo. Instead it's pretty much a straight forward 2 combo = 1 attack line, 3 combo = 2 attack lines, and so on.
