@Jeto , did the mechanic for adding movement time in a given turn when making multiple matches change?

My in-match movement timer is all over the place. Sometimes I get negligible time (or none at all) when making a match, and sometimes I’m seeing as much as +0.6 or +0.7 seconds added to the time on a single match-3.

Also, is it intended that the timer shows as “full” if more than 2.0 seconds are remaining on the timer?

Sorry this wasn’t in the patch notes I’ll add it after I reply here!

We noticed that many players weren’t quite getting as many moves per turn as we’d like. This meant that they were finding the game a bit too hard simply because they were taking some time to learn the intricacies of the battle game (ie. things like diagonal matches).

So we front-loaded the turn taking time a little bit just to provide them with that 0.25 seconds many of them needed to get over that hurdle on say move 3.

Previously you’d get 0.2s extra per match you made, regardless of how many you made.

Now you’ll get 0.5s, 0.375s, and 0.25s for the first three matches respectively, and then 0.125s for every match after that.
