New category beyong Elite, called "Über" with these modes:
Stereo - Like mono, but there are two different colors (+ gray). One color is more frequent than the other, but gives less points.
Transformer - By pressing the middle mouse button, this character can switch between a Pusher and Pointman. Any blocks collected during Pusher mode give twice the score on a clean Match, even after switching back to Pointman. If a match is made of blocks partially collected in Pusher, and partially in Pointman mode, the 100% is applied partially accordingly. Any blocks that Pointman picked up are still there after switching to and from Pusher. This character would allow a lot of new strategies!
Dual Eraser - Like DVE, but can erase blocks with left/right click, which causes only blocks on the left/right to be erased. This may sound simple but would actually be a serious challenge to coordinate properly, and would also allow some interesting strategies (i.e. connecting high value blocks by collecting some unwanted blocks in between and then deleting them). The cross-over bonus should be 200% (so it can compete with the Transformer)
Additional changes to Dual Eraser and Transformer mode, compared to Elite:
- Violett blocks give no points at all (but still count towards the chain)
- The match/chain-alive duration starts of very high, but becomes progressively lower, the higher the chain level is. On the other hand, the chain is only gradually reduced when blocks are not picked up fast enough (which means that on a longer song you eventually reach a certain chain level where chain-gain by making matches and chain-loss by not making those matches fast enough cancel each other out). This would also fundamentally change the game because there may be situations where it makes sense to lose a few chain levels to get a higher match duration needed to make larger matches for a higher overall score, etc...
