But they chose a vintage colour palette, added great physics and animations into an embarrassingly simple User Interface to turn users into addicts making lines with dots. A lot of time seemed to be spent on keeping everything as simple as possible and this obviously paid off. After playing weeks we still don&#8217;t understand how people make 799 points. Our highscore is stuck at 329. Any tips?
