Options
Main
Note: some games may require a refresh for their colour scheme to update.(This could be easily fixed in a future update.)
Game options
This game has not defined any options. (For developers: call the add_game_option API to add options here. This is useful for less commonly used options like starting a new game.)
Share/export state
Current state
This game does not support sharing state via URL. (For developers: define the get_state global function to return the state as a byte array. The game engine will base 64 encode it and it will show up here when the options menu is opened.)
The below link contains the game's current state. You can send this link to another device to continue playing.
Initial state
This game does not support sharing initial state via URL. (For developers: define the get_init_state global function to return the state as a byte array. The game engine will base 64 encode it and it will show up here when the options menu is opened.)
This game's initial state is currently equal to its current state. Once you make some moves, this section should retain a link to the game's original state, so you can share it with a friend to play the same puzzle you did (if this game supports it). The above link will change to match the game's current state, so you can share a link to continue playing where you left off on another device.
The below link contains the game's initial state. You can send this link to a friend so they can try to solve the same puzzle that you did.
Upload Game Bundle
