- Your progress is saved locally after each completed level
- Daily challenges are generated using a date-based algorithm (no server required)
- All 1000+ levels are generated using a deterministic algorithm based on the level number (no server required)
- Hints are awarded through daily login bonuses and level milestones
- No personal data ever leaves your device - game data is stored and processed locally
