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.

Sure that solves the puzzle in 27 moves. So try to solve it in less moves.

#24I don't get it. The numbers add up to 128. Then what?

#29You have a pause in there where the tiles take a moment. Please let us use that pause to rotate a second time before the tiles fall so we can also get the pieces to move across the board rather than just slide parallel.

> But I was able to solve the puzzle by continually rotating the same direction. I’m not gonna ruin the original game’s mechanics for anyone who hasn’t already had them ruined, but I will say I recently tried exactly this strategy in the original and it gets you surprisingly far. But it’s definitely not a winning strategy.
