Puzzle Storm: Reactions, general opinions :)

Whenever you think 'It can't get better'...

Nicely done. I like the UI and the mode is quite fun.

Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for creating this, this is so fun to play! As others have mentioned the UI is fantastic, and I quite like the timer system.
Now I can't pay attention in class :)))
where i can see the wronged puzzles ...After a puzzle storm session?....i opened One wronged but ...the other ..but when i try ti find the other a wronged i can't see nothing!
I really love this new feature but it would be nice if they would add a survival mode. No time pressure, just three lives.
I think Lichess´puzzle storm is great.
Things which could be improved: sometimes you get a series of really obvious 1 move captures (can you really call those a puzzle??) and then, all of a sudden, a combo which can be a little hard. Sure, surprise factor, just like real life, but it kind of feels like if the purpose of the whole system is "an imitation of what you get when you play bullet" (which is true, that's what you get when you play bullet, but then why not just play bullet?) instead of "these puzzles will challenge you!". I miss the "highest scores today", "highest scores this month", "highest scores ever", although I guess those can be added later? I mean the highest scores by anyone, not just the person taking the challenge.
A really cool feature could be: "download all the puzzles that you've done as a pgn".
I want Puzzle Storm centered around a specific rating. Three tries or "points" based on how close a move is to the ideal one would be nice as well.
Thank you very much its awesome. Survival mode would be great!
Absolutely loving this new mode! Just one request: Please add percentiles, so we can see how we stack up against everyone else. I know that lichess doesn't want to waste resources monitoring cheating in the leaderboards, but percentiles wouldn't be strongly affected by cheaters.
This mode is great! It's a really nice addition to the site's features.
On the other hand, it could really use some improvements like a time customization, a survival mode, more challenging puzzles and a difficulty increase between puzzles. Sometimes you get really obvious one move captures and then all of the sudden a three moves combination puzzle just to get back to another one move capture.
Overall it's a great new game mode added to the site that with some improvements will definetely surpass Chess.com's Puzzle Rush.
