There's an assured win combo in this game, at least against the Hard AI. The combo is as follows:
Take the top left corner. It takes the center. Take the bottom left corner. It flips it's center piece every time. Take either right corner. It takes the remaining corner. Take the center right. Flip one of your left corner pieces to form a diagonal ghost line
If the AI doesn't take the center and waste its flip, then it can definitely be countered.
As for feedback, I'd say i had a few moments where i was confused as to why a whole cluster of pieces flipped to ghosts. Honestly if that was described in a tutorial better it'd probably be a non-issue.

  Thank you for the feedback! You are so smart to find the "always win" strategy! I don't even think about it. As for "a whole cluster", do you mean more than 1 line? Did you try the Learning Mode? I can add the more than 1 line example into the Learning Mode to clarify it.
