Now you have visual help to find the cards that goes to a given sector, or to see to which sector a given card would go. It is triggered by mouse over on desktop, and by taps on mobile. I made some iterations on this feature already, because I want to make it useful. Please use this topic to provide feedback or ideas.

Beside the basic questions: does it help? Does it work? Could it be better? I assume that sometimes the visual effects might stick, and also we might have to do something to make sure that players figure out this feature themselves without reading about it somewhere.

I think it's pretty self-explanatory. Personally I don't need it (even though I'm a newbie), but it definitely doesn't hurt or disturb me either.

This game was great for so long and now all these annoying changes keep getting added. Can we either have it removed please or another button to turn it off. This is getting ridiculous. We're not children

Thanks for all of your efforts to help the game run smoother - this feature might be helpful for new players, but I don't think it's neccesary for experienced ones...

I would like to assume it is not disturbing, but need feedback to assess that. Thank you for that!

Works fine for me on mobile (Android). As an experienced player I too didn't feel the need for the feature but I'm curious what new players have to say.
Is there a place to suggest features and vote on them? I see that you clearly are an adept and motivated developer; I think that with some guidance from the community you can really take the game to the next level.
For example, a quick win could be refining the auto-select option, as currently: 1. it's not capable of selecting the better of two neighboring sectors when the arrow card is deployed, and 2. it will always give the users a choice when a card with an activation cube is involved, even if that choice is clearly superior to the alternative (e.g. get 3 coins and a cube vs. getting just 3 coins). That'd definitely help speed up games a bit.
Keep up the great work! (And don't mind the disrespectful comments from those who don't appreciate the work that goes into this endeavor)

Please don't assume, it is disturbing to some. I keep logging in hoping this will be the time it will no longer be there. Please remove or allow us to turn it off. It's super annoying

Can you explain how is it annoying? You are not forced to use it.
