I'm glad you enjoyed it.

> I wonder if there's a way to ease the difficulty by filling in 'correct' features of the guesses

Rather than allowing players to guess individual features, I opted for the "highlight" system where all hidden features that match your guessed protein's features get auto-revealed. This way, if you suspect a transmembrane protein, you can just guess a known transmembrane protein and see which features auto-reveal.

> it would have been interesting to sift through classes or cell types

You're welcome to suggest databases with good coverage over the proteome that I could use for these.

> I presume you're showing even the 'low confidence' portions of the predicted structure?

Yes, any residues in the files I fetch get rendered. I rank by coverage before fetching.

> You could also show the primary amino acid sequence too

I'll consider it.
