For more information, see tasvideos.org/5994MTAS originally published on 2024-06-12Same Game (さめがめ) is a tile-matching puzzle game for the Super Famicom that was released only in Japan. It is an adaptation of the game CHAIN SHOT, which was originally developed by Kuniaki "Morisuke" Moribe for the FM-7 and FM-8 personal computers. The game is simple: with a grid of blocks, the goal is to clear it up as much as possible. To do this, matching blocks that are adjoined are cleared for points. Blocks that were above them then fall down, and columns without blocks are shifted over. More points can be earned by clearing even bigger sets of adjoined blocks.For this run, TaoTao ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/TaoTao ) demonstrates the maximum score that can be achieved on each of the three difficulties, Easy, Medium, and Hard. To do this, the scoring system and the RNG was analyzed to make the game generate the most ideal grids possible.

On a grid filled with red blocks and a hazardous moving black blocks, the objective is to flip all the blocks over to a different color by moving over them. Stepping back onto the changed blocks changes them back to red. "Missing Pieces" plays like "Flip Flop", but with certain blocks replaced with pits that you can fall into. "No Turning Back" makes it so that moving off of a block turns it into a barrier block impenetrable by either you or the black blocks, making it easy to trap yourself away from other red blocks or with other black blocks.In this run, nymx ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/nymx ) plays the mode "Flip Flop" and does quick perfect runs up to a point where the game moves so fast that the levels become impossible to complete.#tas #tasvideos #toolassisted #toolassistedspeedrun #speedrun
