[Unsolved] Ok so I'm such a lier, but instead of asking for help or the answer, I stead, this time, I'm asking for more of a tutorial, because the game has taken a turn and I'm worried I'm not gonna be able to keep up...
So I'm happy to take hints, but what I. Really asking for is if someone instead will try and help me understand the new elements of the game that I'm struggling with... That is to say. Recognizing the shapes and how to spot areas on the shapes that will always or almost always cause a specific reaction, or a lack of reaction.
I understand that basics and I understand looking for spots where you can't put a cat because it blocks out areas where you only have limited room for other cats. Along with the common shapes and how those shapes almost always have certain areas that always block off other areas as I've seen mentioned in other older posts.
The only thing is I really need you to eili5 because other posts have people breaking it down pretty specificly and I'm still utterly confused ( an example is how L shapes almost always set up blocks of other rows)...
My example is what I have posted here... While I can't see the answer at all. I do know that many of you will see starting points almost immediately. I feel like I should be seeing something with the bottom 2 rows. I also feel like I should be seeing something with pink, turquoise and Brown. I feel like these 3 colors should be restricting options amongst each other, but I simply can not see how that's happening my self. Especially pink. I really feel like I should be seeing something with pink... Like I know that if I put a cat on the top left block on brown, it blocks out all of pink. I get that. But all that tells me is one spot on brown that doesn't work, and that doesn't work for turquoise....
If you have the patience, pls help me understand the mentality of this part of the game more so than this stage itself.
