With this mode enabled, all distractions will be hidden, and you can focus just on the puzzle. An additional benefit of Focus Mode is that loading times for levels will be shorter which should allow players experiencing these issues to play the game while we work on a more permanent solution.
TL;DR - if you’re experiencing crashes or problems with loading times, Focus Mode might help.
