Panello is a Tetris Attack/Panel de Pon clone for iOS using Swift 3.
Panel de Pon/Tetris Attack/Planet Puzzle League is a "match 3" type of game where the point is to match 3 or blocks either vertically or horizontally. Matching more than 3 blocks is a "combo" and causing other matches to result from one of your matches is called a "chain". Blocks are presented in a 6x12 grid as shown below:
Panello, being a clone, functions in just the same way, just with controls geared toward a mobile platform. There is no cursor, you just place your finger on the block you want to manipulate. The controls are as follows:
| Function | Gesture |
|---|---|
| Swap with block to the left | Place finger on a block and swipe left |
| Swap with block to the right | Place finger on a block and swipe right |
| Force raise one row | During a non-puzzle game, swipe down anywhere |
| Undo last move | During a puzzle game, swipe down anywhere |
| Pause game | During game, double tap anywhere |
| Select an option | Tap the option (revolutionary!) |

I highly recommend playing Panel de Pon or any games in the Puzzle League series! Once this game is ready I hope to publish it as a free game on the app store, but there are more features I want to add first.
