Rangoli Symmetry

Six rangoli patterns, each with a few missing cells. Use the mirror lines, and later a quarter-turn spin, to work out every missing colour: one mirror line, top to bottom, a diagonal, two lines, a turn and finally a full eight-way rangoli. A wrong check costs one of 3 lives.

How to play

Find the line. Dashed lines are mirror lines. A ⟳ in the middle means the pattern repeats every quarter turn.
Paint the gaps. Pick one of four colours (or press 1 to 4) and tap each ? cell. Tap it again to clear it.
Check. Every missing cell has a partner you can see. A wrong check costs a life and shows you one cell's partner.
Score. 100 per pattern on the first check, 25 less per miss. +50 per life left after all six.

Quick tips

Count from the line. A mirror keeps the distance: a cell two steps left of the line matches the cell two steps right of it.
Diagonals swap. Across the main diagonal, row and column swap places: row 2, column 5 matches row 5, column 2.
