However it is good if you only ever use a 6x5 board. Room for improvement can include a 7x6 board option, new orbs, for example critical poison orbs and bomb orbs. If these were implemented and kept up-to-date with the current PaD meta I would rate this a 5/5 for practice. Furthermore some minor bugs when going into practice mode would include when resetting the board before the entire combo counts. When resetting it, the time you released the orb will be the starting time of when you begin to move orbs on your next turn and if you have a maximum movement amount that will also not reset. However these are just minor bugs and the overall idea of this app is very helpful and wonderful. Lastly, I would be remiss to not ask if we could get a HP% decrease amount if we were to match poison orbs on the board, I would love to know roughly how much HP I will lose if I match the poisons away on the board. ### 5/5 — Thanks *2014-09-09* Before this game I got terrible combos (3-10) and I needed a higher average and this game helped a lot!! ### 5/5 — Exceedingly Useful *2014-07-07* You have a combo god and aren't sure if your combo will work? This by far is the best program for it. Take a screenshot of your board, load this up pick last screenshot and then practice! ### 5/5 — AWESOME *2014-06-07* Best PAD practice app out there BY FAR. It has video replay of your movements, ability to create your own board, combo display, and movement path display. Only thing it doesn't have is toggle for orb movement time, but with all the awesome features I'm not gonna complain. Props to you, developer. ## Frequently asked questions about PAD Test Board ### What is PAD Test Board used for?
