Awesome job on all the user interactions. The dragging controls are pretty intuitive, it always did what I expected, and it's very smooth/seamless. The little touches like the autorotation are very helpful. I can imagine that having really great interactions differentiates this from many other similar sites so good job there.

#32moving the pieces cause them to rotate (to the correct position). Doesn't that make the puzzle super easy if you know how everything is oriented?
Yeah, this is something I'm considering still. I've heard from a few users that they don't like the pieces being rotated at all, and some would rather have click-to-rotate to make it more difficult. I might have to make this an option, but waiting to hear from more users on this before deciding.

#34Hi, firstly great job on the app - really nice. I tried to do the demo puzzle on my touchscreen laptop, but while the dragging worked very nicely, I wasn't sure how to actually rotate the pieces myself (seemed to happen randomly when tapping the piece), would be nice to have a clearer way to interact, e.g. double tap to rotate 90 degrees.

#35I just did the demo puzzle on an iPhone (11 Pro running 15.1), and I found it worked surprisingly well for a phone screen, and I didn’t have any problems completing it. Nicely done.
Thanks! Glad to hear it worked well. I really need to add pinch to zoom to improve the experience on all touchscreen devices.
