Hello

I was wondering if it would be able to add a 2P category to the game?

Typically the 2P mode is a VS mode, but on a few puzzle games me and my arcade partner have been playing them as "combined point" co-op speedrunning experiences. Interestingly this game in Arcade does not reset points when one player achieves victory, allowing any amount of combined point total for the categories.

Proposing a 2,000,000 and 5,000,000 combined point subcategories.

We have performed a sample run here:

Appreciate any community input, I really enjoyed this game and playing this way with my friend.

I don't know that I really understand the purpose of the category you're requesting. It would be a combined score for P1 & P2 to get 2/5,000,000 points. It feels like a fairly contrived objective, but that isn't inherently disqualifying. A similar objective to this is in Puyo Puyo Champions, it has several score speedrun leaderboards in the single player practice area so speedrunning to X amount of points is a reasonable objective. Of course, that's single player, the co-op aspect of this request makes it odd.

I guess to me, I'd be more open minded about starting with a leaderboard for single player large score objectives if that's something that can be done within the game. You all are beginner players so I would recommend looking up material on how to build chains in Puyo Puyo, as this game has strong similarities in strategy. The blobs stretching after pops is the primary difference and is notable once you start building for longer chains (5+) but I didn't see any lengthy chains from the part of your video I did skim.

Just my thoughts.

Thats fair, if the community doesnt see the need for the categories then I dont claim to know enough about the game to super advocate for it.

As to "Why coop?", because I find games are more fun when played with a friend. I find it gives new life to some of these games which were not made as a coop experience from a design perspective.

I appreciate you taking the time to look and respond, we are definitely beginners and the building chain guides Ive looked up so far should definitely help with a variety of these type of games we are playing. Thank you!
