Level Types

1. Normal levels - Will increase in amount of colors, and from level 160 will add a random variant that has 2 small buffers instead of a free column.

2. ⭐️ Special levels - These vary in layout, buffers and locked columns. They come around every 7 levels.

3. 🔥 Hard levels - The same as Normal levels (including variant after level 160), but all blocks under the surface are hidden. Occur every 9 levels.

4. 🍀 Easy levels - These can be hard, normal or special, but are always a few difficulty levels below your current difficulty level. They start occurring from level 150, and come around every 13 levels.

5. 🧩 Scrambled levels - These are normal levels, but someone has already done some moves towards solving them! The start occurring from level 180, and Occur every 9 levels, mostly just after a hard level.

6. 🐉 Dungeon levels - These levels have enemies and traps. Use the proper items to remove them to continue your sorting journey!

7. 🌶️ Hot levels - Multi stage hard levels, but a lot spicier!

Development setup

yarn install
yarn dev

[!NOTE] This project uses yarn pnp. This means you need to install the ZipFS extension, and you possibly need to run yarn dlx @yarnpkg/sdks

• Running tests: yarn test
• Lint code: yarn lint

The game will use pre-created seeds to generate levels in a fast way on mobile (reduces power usage and loading times).

For all management around these seeds, check out:

bin/level-seeds.ts --help

To test all the seeds, and remove the invalid ones:

bin/level-seeds.ts test

To generate missing seeds, run:

bin/level-seeds.ts generate --all
