I made a full chart with all five categories (number, color, shape, filled, thick/line outline) and there was simply no pattern. If there is another category that I am missing please post it, if not there must be a bug. I have the same problem as Kay.

Level 6 quickly becomes pretty routine and boring. If there aren't more levels, I won't revisit it often. By the Rules: The game is good, but there needs to be more levels of difficulty.

I had two times the experience that I went through all the cards and didn't found the rule (on of those times with noting shapes on paper).

There really was no similarity in the cards that followed the rule. Could that be a bug? 1. Will there be more levels? 2. How about something like a "see the rule" option at the end or after you've used more than a certain amount of x cards?

It might be worthwhile getting some idea of what techniques people getting to different levels are using. Like for perambulating rolling, crawling, tottering, walking, running are all part of a sequence and have some use. For example for penguin panic memorising where to move while its still is one technique and moving the directions reference with each turn is another.
