    This is amazing! Very well done, very entertaining game.

    Feature request: Please create an apple TV app for this. I'd love my kids to play this on the TV together. I'd pay for this.

      Interesting! Does Apple TV have a web browser? I’d be curious if it would work there

    I really enjoyed this game and will try it again tomorrow.

    I can definitely see the inspiration from hobby tile games and polyomino games. I design a lot of card and board games but generating a new daily puzzle sounds daunting to me! :)

      Thanks!

      Creating a new puzzle daily is a lot of work but it has also been fun!

    Great job, really enjoyable!

    One tiny nitpick; The absolute gulf between the practice puzzle and the first daily is a bit much imo.

    • paulhebert3 months ago
      Thanks! That’s great feedback.

      Do you think I should add more intermediate practice puzzles?

      Or make the existing practice puzzle harder?

      Or reduce the complexity of the dailies?

        Good question. I like the complexity of the daily, and the practice puzzle is simple enough to be a good introduction to the game mechanics, so maybe an intermediate puzzle (possibly optional?) might be a good idea? Just don't want to bore people to death, I know some will want to get straight to the daily.

    My wife suggested this concept and I put it on my ideas list. Well done, you bastard.
