Ask HN: How can I make PluriSnake, a daily puzzle game, easier to understand?

1•amichail•1h ago
PluriSnake is a daily snake color matching puzzle game.

Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAjd5HgbOhU

Beta: https://testflight.apple.com/join/mJXdJavG [iPhone/iPad/Mac]

If you have trouble with the tutorial, check out this tutorial video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1dfTuoTluY

Color matching is used in two ways: (1) matching circles creates snakes, and (2) matching a snake’s color with the squares beneath it destroys them. Snakes, but not individual circles, can be moved by snaking to squares of matching color.

Goal: Score as highly as you can. Destroying all the squares is not required for your score to count.

Scoring: The more links that are currently in the grid, the more points you get when you destroy a square.

There is more to it than that, as you will see.

How can I make this puzzle game easier to understand?
