Update 1.5 - Easy and Hard Puzzles are Split Up!
Many users were having a hard time with the more difficult earlier levels, thus blocking them from seeing a majority of the game. To help with this, levels that were deemed a bit more on the challenging side have been moved to a new category in the level select screen "Challenges". Other changes: Made selected card stay above the others instead of sinking back to unselected cards level Added sound when adjusting the sound effect volume Adjusted end of demo text sequence Slight change to level 3 Added translation for text for denying card pickup Made "deny card pickup" info box fade out when pressing undo Made deny sound play when clicking an invalid spot for rotator tokens Hint button flashing will not happen if a hint has already been used on that level (and the player has not left that level) The hint to press "Z" on the undo button is now clickable Added game version number to title screen "Buy the full game" text in the demo is now wavyRead full article on Community Announcements (ThinkWithGames)Patch NotesOfficial
