Shadow glitch

I love this game so far, but I have encountered an error in the tutorial for the shadow tile.  If the player uses the lily pads to rearrange the blue dragons so they are captured immediately after the winds and before any other blue tiles are taken, the player will score 120 points and be told that they could have scored more points: 120 out of 106.  Probably, the insufficient scoring message for the tutorial should only trigger on points *less than* the number you believe to be maximal, not just if it is not equal to that number.  Also I do not know what turning the tiles black means; it doesn't seem to be functioning, at least if you hop the frog onto the shadow as your first move.

Hey xyncht great catch! I’ve added those puzzles last minute for the players to learn each tile on isolation. But looks like some may still be a bit rough on the edges :)

I will change it today, so it reflects the 120 score. Thanks!

Also I do not know what turning the tiles black means; it doesn’t seem to be functioning, at least if you hop the frog onto the shadow as your first move.

This is suposed to be a handicap. There are 3 shadows along a run, one for each suit. They make it a bit more difficult to score points, since while free (not covered and with at least one open side), they turn one suit black. This means they won’t work for any color-matching tiles like dragon runs, frogs, lotuses, sparrows, etc…

BTW, covering the shadow with the frog is a valid mechanism to deny it, well spotted!

Please let me know if there is something else I could improve. The game is still under development!
