Petal Mosaic: Color Circuit

About Petal Mosaic: Color Circuit

Under the roof of a library of living stained glass is the Glazier’s Loft, where new windows are made. Tall lancets lie on the light table, glowing from below, their panes cut from opalescent petal glass in rose, peach, butter, leaf, cornflower and lilac, each in its own shape, a disc, a shard, a square, a lozenge, a hexagon or a star, and each with its own painted mark, so colour is never the only clue.

Swap two neighbouring panes to line up three or more of a colour. Beside the window, the circuit shows the colours to clear, in order. Each window gives you a few sweeps of the glazier’s brush: pick a pane, choose its row or its column, and the brush repaints the whole line in that pane’s colour. A sweep costs no move, and it rides the chain already running, so a cascade can carry on through the fresh paint.

A colour of the circuit cleared by the falls a sweep sets off is a clean stroke, worth 180 points. Close a circuit and a small finished pane in that circuit’s colours is hoisted on its rope to hang under the skylight with the others, catching the light as it turns.

Twelve windows are drawn by hand, from the apprentice’s light to the loft’s great light: morning lancets, twin lancets, trefoil heads, a window of bluebells and three sisters side by side, each with its pointed head cut into the table’s frame. Later windows come back mirrored, and today’s window changes every day. Every window can be won, and a hint is one press away; Settings offers more moves or no limit at all.
