I've added a short video recording as a tutorial, linked on the main page. Hope that helps!

Thanks for trying it out! Hopefully these explanations help you, if not, please let me know.

1. Depending on the board constellation, there can be multiple different chunks which can be moved. For example, first row all black, second all white, third all black. The game ends when you remove a block where all tiles are the same color. So in this example, removing the white row would get you closer to that state.

2. Yes, when there are multiple directions towards which you can remove a chunk, it doesn't matter which one you choose.

3. In general, only the removed tiles are refilled. However, when this leads to a board with no possible move, e.g., like a chessboard pattern, the whole board gets replaced immediately.

Maybe I'll release that some time in future but currently there are no concrete plans for that ;)

Thanks for giving it a try and commenting! Please try dragging a block of 2 or more connected tiles (same color) to the border of the gameboard. While dragging a block, all other tiles are static/obstructions so you can't move blocks in all directions. edit: I've also added some instructions to the main post :)

Hi HN!I've had this simple game idea in mind for many years and started developing it multiple times but never finished it. After seeing the "Finish your projects" article, which was posted here recently, I decided to give it another try and finish it this time. So here it is, feedback appreciated! :)Thanks,ErwinPS: I considered adding a tutorial but let's see if you can figure it out on your...
