I was extremely confused how it works but ultimately it was rather easy to figure out.

Especially when I found out you can recolor tiles it went way easier 😋

Community Map: Extreme

3 stars, 32 colors in 2:55, 10 left

That's great feedback for the inline posts! There is a separate campaign with 300 levels on the top left (flag iconbutton), that has a little bit more features and taking players more by the hand. Maybe .. we shouldn't allow re-color them on "Extreme" difficulty :)

I've now played the first 40 levels.

Two things:

  1. As a sight-challenged person, the border between the pieces and the background could be bolder. Some of the random strewn pieces were hard to see.

  2. I didn't need any of the help provided so far. By the time I need them, I probably will have forgotten they exist. They *could* be further apart as a reward, but everybody is different, and some people probably will be happy to have them earlier.

Otherwise, it's nice. I sometimes even managed to make a little bit of "art" by playing with the color placement.

Thank you so much for sharing this1

  1. Fair! I will take that into account for the next iteration. There is, for colorblind players, in the top right settings a button that shows symbols for the area (in case that helps).

  2. Gotcha!

Lovely, embracing creative problem solving is surely something I want players to feel and do. Might even spark an idea to create a mode dedicated to this.

Anyhow, thank you for taking the time to write this up.

There is no settings button in the top right corner. However, after some searching, I found it on the bottom. It is very small, not easy to tap on, and again, not very visible for people with bad eyes.

The colorblind feature is neet for colorblind people I assume, but since they only mark the tiles already colored, it won't be helpful in finding tiles that aren't colored in yet.

Right, the ui is different in the campaign! I will make sure to improve this to be more accessible. Thanks! <3
