It’s fun. But on the iPad, swipe down right is nearly impossible! The web page always scroll down. Why not making a single page where no scrolling is possible? You can always change into other scenes by previous/next buttons.

We switched to a page-based layout, is this working better now?

Very nice work! I really enjoyed playing it. One little thing I noticed, at one point I wanted to exit the page and doing so on my Iphone was a little tricky, maybe adding an exit btn would help. Really fun game though, great effort!

This should be fixed, if you want to confirm.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think it's specifically scroll-wheel on a mouse that doesn't work in Safari, which I can't readily explain. Adding to the list. Can you elaborate on the swipe aid being buggy?

It’s misplaced and distorted.

I just pushed an update– is this fixed now?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I simply can't trigger a downward diagonal swipe on my phone. It starts immediately as a horizontal swipe, and then the downward component scrolls the whole game area downward, while not affecting the swipe angle. Even if I start with a downward swipe, it treats that as a scroll action, not a swipe action. This is in the tutorial. FF on Android. OP, have you considered making each level a non-scrollable page?

Having this problem also, swipes with a vertical component are simultaneously scrolls, which messes up the angle. FF on android.

Fixed now?

Just pushed some changes based on the feedback from this thread. - No more "Scroll Down", which fixes a large group of bugs - All-new interactive training - Can be saved as a PWA without re-opening in Safari - Tweaks to the puzzle generator algorithm (better, but still too easy) Thank you for playing and reporting bugs!

I've been playing daily and really enjoying. I take it the play store version is now gone? I would gladly pay a few dollars for a curated list of puzzles.

Glad you’re enjoying it. Yeah, the Play store version seems to be gone.

The daily puzzle isn’t quite enough to scratch my own itch, either. Expect some new puzzle options eventually.
