The UX is not good only because of the screen size. Either you see too few of the pieces or the pieces are too small. But I think there is no software solution to that, just a matter of being a game better suited for larger screens.

#23I'm in the demo and trying to click and drag pieces and all it does is pan the screen. I'm using Chrome on Windows 10 if it helps. Also, I noticed that maybe 10% of pieces actually do let you move them around, but the other 90% only pan the screen.
Thanks for the report, that is very odd. It sounds like the mouse position might be offset. I haven't ran into this yet when testing Chrome on Windows 10, but I'll take another look. Sorry about that!

#24Congrats! I just completed the easy demo on an iPhone SE and it worked great. No issue at all with selecting and positioning the pieces. Great work!

#25Nice work. One thing though, I completed the demo puzzle and created an account but then under completed puzzles in my account, the list is empty. I wish the puzzle I had just completed when it prompted me to create an account to play more puzzles, would be added to the list of completed puzzles.

Same experience on iPad Safari here.

#28Having to tap the pieces to orient them correctly became a task to do before I started. But I wouldn't have wanted to try to do that myself either on a phone.
Sad that the picture was obscured at the end. I wanted to admire my work.

Same on Brave Linux. EDIT: If I disable ad blocking, the sentry errors disappear and I am able to drag pieces. Maybe wrap the sentry code in something to account for ad-blockers.
I'll need to test Brave to see if I can reproduce. Thanks for the details.

#30I thought the UI was brilliant and enjoyed the example a lot (Android phone). Having to tap the pieces to orient them correctly became a task to do before I started.

Good point regarding the picture being obscured at the end. I think this especially affects mobile.
