The first few minutes just got friendlier

Quick one: this update went into the start of the game, not the game itself.

New players now get a clear Start here pointer instead of a stack of intro screens, so there's no guessing which mode to open first. Everything past that point works the way it always has.

Once you're in, you get a longer look at the shape before you draw, with a countdown on screen so you can see exactly when your turn begins. During that first round a few short prompts tell you when to look, when to draw and when to tap Done - then they step out of the way from round two onwards.

The first result screen is tidier too: the ×2 and Next Shape actions are easier to spot and easier to reach with a thumb.

The drawing challenge itself is untouched - same shapes, same scoring, same stars. It's just easier to work out how to start.
