Would have been nice if they'd tested it on Safari as well. It's playable, but frustrating enough that you'd switch to Chrome.
It seems fine on Firefox mobile

#12For a quick, breezy puzzle that you should be able to do within the space of a coffee break, this feels like it moves way too slowly. Takes a bit for the ball to start rolling and the fancy zoom-in animation gets tedious fast.

#13The presentation is nice but the content of the puzzle put me off. I think if you suggest a physical puzzle by presenting it as a rolling ball then you should honor correct physical intuition such that a ball isn't going to turn left by itself as it does in puzzle three. I'm interested in testing my wit, and I am fine with losing, but I am not interested in just finding the correct way to clap like a seal for the puz…
+1 for 3rd level.. the simple solution (as per me) using two tiles does not work, even though the ball reaches the finish podium.

#14On puzzle 5, why is the obvious short solution wrong? The marble reaches the finish line, and then the page says "Something's not right, keep trying!"
One unstated rule is that you have to use all pieces. Number three can already be solved with two pieces and that also doesn't count. I strongly dislike this kind of puzzle.

Thanks for sharing. Where does it even say you need to use every piece?!

Also the ball starts on a flat surface and then goes uphill(??) in the finish tile.
That confused me too. Isn't that literally the wrong way around to how it should be?!
