Difficulty settings now availiable.

Hello,

you can now adjust the games difficulty in the settings.

The options can be found within the settings menu, and look like this:

The game will default to the "Standard" difficulty, but can be changed to any other setting whenever you want.

These settings only affect the B,C,D,E areas.
The game will show a Note (like the other tutorials) about the difficulty settings when entering the B area.

Here is how the 3 settings look on a smaller puzzle:

is as it was prior to this patch, with every tile accesible:

removes some tiles to place cubes on, removing a lot of possibilities for non working solutions:


reduces the accessible tiles to the ones necessary for the default solution (the one inteded by me), with some additional tiles.


There are a few puzzles that did not get any changes with difficulty, since they already had very few tiles to begin with (mainly 2 in the B area) - there simply was nothing to make it simpler.

If you change difficulty from a higher to a lower setting, it may happen that a cube then is on a white tile - this is not a bug!


You can move the cube from its position like you always could, but not back onto the white tile:

This Update is a compromise, it isnt perfect, but it aims to give everyone what they need.
No solution was nerfed, and everyone can still access the game as it was when it launched, it just defaults to a more digestable difficulty now.

This Update also adds a few "shortcuts" to certain puzzles that had some waiting time in the past, until things rotated back into place.
