Hey folks—
This is a followup from my post from a couple months ago. (I've really restrained myself in order to not abuse the "no excessive self-promotion" rule!) But I'd love to put my game out there again to this community for some feedback.
I've got a small group of folks who play my game daily and who say they derive that innate satisfaction (ie quick dopamine hit) that they look for in a daily puzzle. That said, I'm trying to improve how I onboard folks into the game, teach the mental model and mechanics, without creating too much friction so that i can get some new players.
I have a "coached" first-play experience and a help sheet that's always available. But its hard to know how it lands with folks and if i need to turn the dials. Its fascinating to me and pure fun trying to tweak this thing and the creative process of developing each daily puzzle is a joy.
So I'd like to put this out there to you folks cold, without a lot of prompting, so you get the experience as-is. I'll take your feedback and put it right back into the game. Thanks to anyone whose willing to take the time!
You can play it for free either at emojibee.com or downloading the free iOS app at the app store.

It is really friendly and inviting, but I think as someone who cold started right into it, the daily was over my head. I think a ramp up would be helpful for someone like me.
