Author here, happy to answer questions about any part of this. The scoring weights are hand-tuned from playtesting, not learned from data. Would love to hear from anyone with psychometrics or spatial cognition experience.

Thanks, I tried to make room for everything for all screen sizes but I guess I couldn't. I'll fix the layout.

I don't understand what is supposed to be "hard". It seems utterly trivial to me.

In reverse order of the folds, just mirror all holes across the fold line.

something very wrong with brightness of the paper - it blends in with the background so much, it's impossible to play

thanks for flagging this, the contrast is definitely too low. I'll fix this.
