That was fun! But I was able to solve the puzzle by continually rotating the same direction.

I bet this was tried, but what's play like with the same game mechanics of this version, but with the original game play, where each move gives you a new block?

2048 was similarly flawed (cycle up, right, down, left to win), so I doubt a new block on each turn will solve the issue any more than it did for the original.

Mhh it could be tried yes! It is a small idea I need to improve! Normally, you would not have the best solution if you rotate in the same direction, but yes it's not really fun to win even doing that :/ Thanks!
