    Just to point out cause I don’t see anyone’s commented on it, they did the design for the number four to look like a vaguely Asian symbol (and I know ‘Asian symbol’ is a silly idea as Chinese characters and Korean characters are very distinctly different, but this symbol looks like it could be confused for either a Korean or Chinese character)

    EDIT: Oh and it’s yellow

      I commented on it, the symbol literally is the Korean word for “four” (사) stylized to look like a 4. It’s a clever idea, but the stylization does make it look like a wonton/chopsticks font nonetheless, and it is yellow!

      Edit: I was going to complain about the Chopsticks ass 4 in the logo, but then I realized that it actually says 4 in Korean, 사 sa. Clever bit of graphic design wasted on a game like this!
