oh wow what a clever little tetris like experience ... 

not gonna lie, I did not read the description and went directly to the game ... felt confused for 5mins, when I figured it out I genuinely felt I had solved a puzzle (seeing a screen full of numbers does feel like a puzzle already) and was hooked then .... I do not know if you implemented an idea that already exists but it was new and clever for me very much so .... 

so regarding the question about making it more understandable .... if you make the first few blocks fall as if it was a cutscene, then match the numbers in the floor, I am sure 95% of players will already understand there is something to do with colors, and some math happening with the numbers, the ones that would like this type of game will already feel hooked for sure.

Thanks for playing and great detailed review!

oh yes, it would be good to insert auto play before the game. But this will be difficult to implement. To do this, I need to write a gaming bot that can analyze the playing field and make the right moves. But showing the game for an unusual type of game may be the only right way.

Or maybe the first level is always the same so you can make it scripted, its like a kinda of a tutorial. After seeing that, the other ones can be random. That or you can record some tutorial explanations and have it in the bottom in a very discrete "see tutorials" button

yes, or maybe make a lobby menu and launch a game or a playing bot in the background for demonstration like in old slot machine games
