Feature Requests

Hello,
Great app 👍 , a couple of ideas after about 20mins of playing it, take them as you wish:

1. When moving slider to multiply, it'd be nice to be able to tap the plus or minus sign to increment by 1, which would be easier than sliding it.
2. It might be nice to see the final matrix at the end before it shows the success screen, so you can visualise what the final result was.
3. An option to do divide manually rather than having it pop up on the side of the matrix, perhaps a toggle between multiply and divide, not sure how you'd stop people from making ugly decimals (display as fractions maybe, still could get messy)
4. Custom matrices, ability to put custom numbers in to solve for a problem using this as a nifty tool.

Can't complete game!

Hi there,

First: thank-you for putting the effort into building "Switch"! Its taught me something new and has been great fun to play.

The bug: I've completed 4 levels on the "Architect" setting but can't seem to load the 5th. Consequently, I can't finish the game! I'm not sure how this has occurred however, when I tried to manually solve the 4th Architect level, I failed. But, after opening Switch again later, I found that I could re-try the level from the same point I tried to solve it manually earlier. The usual behaviour seems to be that a fresh instance of the level is created? Not sure if this has something to do with the bug encountered?

If I can help any further, please let me know and thank-you once again for such an interesting and fun game.!
