#Menu, Difficulty and Modes

#Arcade menu

/arcade opens a protected inventory containing every enabled and permitted game. Each entry displays its board size, controls, selected difficulty, play mode and the player's best score.

The bottom controls cycle difficulty and preferred mode. The preference is remembered until the player leaves. If a game does not support the preferred mode, the menu selects a valid mode automatically.

#Difficulty

  • EASY uses more forgiving speeds, layouts or AI behavior.
  • NORMAL is the default intended experience.
  • HARD increases speed, hazards, AI accuracy or puzzle size depending on the game.

Difficulty does not apply one global multiplier. Each game uses it in a way appropriate to its rules.
