I play eraser over pusher and pointman because one of my custom colors is white.  So needless to say, the whites are very difficult to differentiate from the non-match whites.  I have gotten locked into 5 open blocks on pusher by setting up a row of three white non-match blocks accidentally.  it sucked.

Eraser can fix that.

That's your fault for choosing shit colours, you're only limiting yourself.

You can get good with eraser faster than the other two, and that's why I picked it.  In hindsight, it wasn't a smart move, because the scoring potential is much higher for pusher and pointman.  You can still beat most people if you know how to use eraser, but you won't be able compete with the better pusher and pointman players.  I've been playing pusher for only a couple of weeks, and I'm beating all of my eraser scores already.  If you like eraser though, you need to use chaining in order to score high, just like the other two.

or, you could choose a different color and play the character you want.
