A simple how-to:

You start in the top left, and your goal is to make the whole board one color. When you change the color of the tile in the top left (by clicking one of the color buttons), it changes all tiles adjacent to it, and all tiles adjacent to those, etc into the same color.

Not sure why that happened.
Anyways, the gameplay was pretty interesting. I've never seen this concept before.

EDIT: It consistently puts the window off-screen when I start the game. (Right edge of window at left-edge of screen, as mentioned previously.)

This happens to me too. It seems the only way I can fix it is to right click it on my task bar and hit maximize.

I did end up reporting this as a bug, but apparently it's not a bug.

a "# of moves left" counter and a difficulty setting and this game is instantly in my book of awesome time-waster puzzles. It's more fun than Sudoku.

There actually is a difficulty setting, I just have it set manually for the time being. I can look into adding the moves left counter when I end up updating it again (I'm going to try to figure out an algorithm to make a puzzle always solvable in x moves, then I plan to update it again).

[edit for my own reference: there's currently a bug where if you start another colored move before the previous one finishes, it doesn't transition properly]

It seems like this issue is normal for people. I think I have a vague idea of what I can do to solve it.
