10-second penalty removal

We removed the 10-second penalty for repeated matches. It was too harsh and discouraged players from playing the game.

Instead, we added the animation delay whenever you make a match. This slows down the whole gameplay. Read more about it in the FAQ.

Reset leaderboards

All leaderboards have been reset. They now include only those games played after the 10-second penalty was implemented.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. We are working to prevent this from happening in the future.

Mute sounds effects

Added ability to mute sound effects.

10-second penalties

We noticed that some players were matching the same slots multiple times over an over. This was a loophole that allowed players to artificially speed up their completion time.

To address this issue, we have implemented a mechanism that detects this and penalizes the player by adding 10 seconds to their completion time for each repeated match.
