Graphics need to be modified. Excited to have this here, but the visuals are so distracting and confusing.

And thanks for this game, but it is not great on mobile (tried on iphone/safari). The pieces often do not show in the intended spot, so an error that the placement is not valid will show even though the piece fits correctly. And the square i tap vs the square the target lands on are not the same all the time. :(

Also, let me rotate a piece even if it can’t fit. Stop snapping it back to another orientation or location. I should be able to select a spot, move, and rotate the piece in any order.

Lastly, stop kicking me out of practice mode when my opponent finishes placing a piece!

That said, good start:)
I played it in an IPad. There you have to select the piece, rotate it and then place it on the board and that works ok. But if I want to place the piece then rotate it, it was a mess like you said. Hope that solves the problem!

For my S20 I don't drag because it will refresh the page, just click the spot on the board where the bullseye target is to get it to move

No- this does not always address the problem. Sometimes it does, but not always… but also, i should not have to follow that order. This game often requires fiddling with a piece to figure out where to place it. Needing to do that in a certain order isn’t helpful

Same on iPhone 11- have to tap the location to place it instead of being able to drag. It often doesn’t work quite right, though

I'm not a huge fan of comparative statements, but Calico is another very good quilting game, you should give it a try as well, especially if you like cats.

Thank you for launching this game! We do own the board game, but quite handy to play it via BGA :)

Hopefully this goes back to beta testing.. it's playable on desktop but brutal on mobile.

Might be spoiled by the polish of the app

Thanks for bringing this amazing game to BGA! <3

2 questions:
- can you please fix the mobile phone playability ? The pieces still twist and turn all over the place. A drag and drop method would still be more comfortable but it’s OK.
- is it possible to add an Auto Skip for when a player doesn’t have enough buttons to buy the next pieces ? Would really help in the flow of the game.

Thanks again!!

I'm having a lot of problems with the pieces rotating-but-showing-as-not-rotated on desktop (Safari and Chrome on Mac) as well as mobile. It seems like a race condition.

Similarly, if I place a piece, get a bonus patch, and click quickly, it places the patch (good) but shows the original piece moving (bad). After a reload, everything is fine.

I do see that auto skip is now added, which is really nice!
