How to play

The objective of this game is to recognize a pattern that resembles the home screen of a mobile device. In order to succeed, you need to make five straight lines. Each dot can link to every other dot as long as there is no invisible dot in between them. You can either sequentially tap or click the dots or swipe the full pattern at once. After each turn, the entered pattern is displayed alongside hints as to how close it is to the answer, with each "dot" in the pattern being colored to indicate its correctness: in the correct position, in the solution solution but in a different location, or not in the solution at all. The player has the right to recall the courses of past tries so as not to lose turns repeating known failed patterns.

• When playing on the easiest difficulty setting, all past tries are displayed in order, simplifying the game considerably but not guaranteeing victory.
• When starting a new game on standard difficulties, the path from the previous attempt is shown and then it is replaced by the new path when you join the game. However, the dots are not used in the current attempt. In the next attempt, the hues are still present.
• In hard mode, the dots' colors stay the same and the player's previous path is hidden, so he or she will need to recall the sequence of all of their attempts, even down to the very last one.
