Really appreciate the UI, dragging color onto other color, backtracking, and general fiddling works really well. I never thought it marked the wrong thing and it manipulating the chains was intuitive and helped getting to the answer.

This is a great example of level, and puzzle design. The way it goes from a couple of easy levels into one or two harder levels is great. It gives you that feeling of accomplishment and challenge at the same time. This is definitely a favorite and a five-star game. Keep going!

Needs auto-leveling, don't like to click on arrow every time
Fixed it! From now on, when you complete a puzzle, you can simply click anywhere on the screen to go to the next one!
