Pastel Link now has five modes on Android

In my first devlog, I wrote that I wanted to try boards that were not squares. They are now in the Android version.

Alongside Classic, there are four new modes: Angular Shapes, Loops, Hexagons, and 3D Shapes. Android now has 21,520 puzzles in total. Classic still has 5×5 to 20×20 square boards; the other modes have their own shapes and size groups.

The tricky part was not just drawing new boards. The puzzle generator had to make sure each puzzle had one solution, filter out duplicates and puzzles that looked different but played too similarly, and avoid layouts where paths gathered on one side. That took much longer than I expected.

The iPhone version has not caught up with this update yet. It currently has the original 3,520 Classic puzzles. I will share another update when the new modes are available there.
