Any chance for a dark mode?
On the backlog it goes). Can't promise I'll get to it in a timely manner but thanks for the suggestion.

#122Nice to see that shift-click rotates anti-clockwise - excellent semantics.

#123Right-clicking locks a piece, but it also brings up a context menu that I need to get rid of. It would be nice if that didn't happen.
Are you on a Mac? I thought I got rid of this but I haven't tested on those.

#124Love the game. Couple of nits on the site: - changing puzzle size seems to break the back button - scroll behaviour is a bit strange (Pixel 5, Chrome, if it helps)
Thanks for reporting, I'll look into this.

#125I love it! I loved this game I used to play one on Android (square version). Told the dev I would even pay for it. It got very popular and then after a while it started to get ads. At that point I uninstalled it.
PS: Make a start button instead of starting on load. Also the other game had a hypnotic looping music. Which could be put off.

#126Make a daily one where everyone has the same game for the day and you can share your scores and my entire friend group would play along with the other ones we do like Wordle and NYT Mini Crossword. Let me know if you add this!
Agree, this is what can really push it. A daily 5x5 w/ easily shareable scores is the way you can bring this to a lot of people.
Or, a daily 5x5, 7x7, etc. for the true addicts

#127It looks great. It'd be cool to be able to zoom in-out on the 40x40.

#128This is fantastic. A true joy to play! I am seconding the suggestion that you make a daily challenge like Wordle, with the feature to share your time and somehow a "masked" solution like Wordle does.
I hope NYTimes buys this from you for lots of money! ;)

#129Nice I was addicted to this exact game on a mobile app many years ago. Thanks so much for making the source code available! Gonna be fun to dig into it Edit: found the app, https://apps.apple.com/us/app/noodles/id967624193 Looks like they have a sequal to it and it includes a triangle grid!
The app is from the same creator

#130Earlier quoted context omitted.
Fair enough, I'll think how to word all this.
I think simply having an image of what a solved network looks like would help a lot.
Agreed, I didn’t bother reading the rules and just started clicking. I doubt I would read the rules even if they were written perfectly.
