Hi Ekim, thanks playing Chord!
I agree, the game definitely needs a polish. Unfortunately design isn't my strong suite (I lean more towards the technical side). Wasn't sure if anyone would really even be interested in this type of game, so decided to release as is.
I appreciate the feedback, maybe I'll look into having a designer help polish the game, and make it look a bit more presentable.

Hi CDJimmy, thanks for your interest in Chord! To answer your first question, as far as I know this logic does not exist in any other game. I created everything (the logic, rules, algorithms, puzzles, etc...) in this game myself.
If I'm understanding you correctly, your concern is that some puzzles have multiple solutions, or no solutions. The way the game is intended to work is that each puzzle should only have 1 possible solution. I took a look at the images you provided, and it looks like they do not follow all of the rules. Each puzzle in the pictures you provided break the same rule:
"Each number on one half of the circle must be the same as a number on the opposite half of the circle that it's line intersects."
Basically, a line coming from a number on top must intersect a line coming from the same number on the bottom. I added to your screen shots to show where this rule is being broken.
Picture A:
The line coming from the 2 on top, does not intersect the line coming from the 2 on bottom. Same with the 6s.
Picture B:
The line coming from the 3 on top, does not intersect the line coming from the 3 on bottom.
Picture C:
The line coming from the 2 on top, does not intersect the line coming from the 2 on bottom. Same for the 1s, 3s, and 6s.
Picture D:
The line coming from the 3 on top, does not intersect the line coming from the 3 on bottom. Same with the 1s and 6s.
As for the solution picture, the reason it is a correct solution is because it follows all of the rules.
1 through 6 on the top.
1 through 6 on the bottom.
No lines have the same number on either end point.
Ever number on one half of the circle intersects the same number on the other half of the circle.
Hopefully that makes sense, and answers your questions. Please let me know if I missed something. I appreciate the feedback, I'm always looking for ways to improve.
Thanks again for playing the game! Let me know if you have any other questions.
