cool game, maybe consider removing the eternally looping animation in the header, it's pretty visually distracting

awesome! but the one per day thing kills it for me.. I want to play like 10 in a row and then forget about it for a few months.

Most people share their result with friends and family in text threads. It’s for fun and starts discussions, many times out of a solution being surprising or tough. The best times are when one of us can’t figure out a solution and we give each other hints.
