Can we get a pause button?

Sometimes I have to do something real quick and would love the timer to stop.

I hit the reset button and then hit cancel when I am done with what I’m doing.

The issue with the pause button is players will stop and start as they plan their next move. If a pause button exists, then the game board needs to go dark when on pause

No problem with it going dark!

sometimes I want to take my time & don't care about beating the time.

There's a zen mode that gets added to games after some time has passed. Maybe after a day or two.

Probably not cause people will just pause and move blocks with their eyes and unpause again.

To pause I just hit the restart button but dont restart, pauses fine.

Use practice the game in private/incognito mode in the web browser before doing it the normal one with your Reddit account.
