Replace space bar with tapping on a piece before picking it up.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Maybe consider dropping new pieces in a grid on the side rather than randomly placed.  The wiggle effect is neat, but it seems to interfere with grabbing pieces.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Elegant, fun game."},{"author_name":"Teknik","author_uid":"15737","time":"Sep 1, 2012 @ 4:03pm","epoch":1346515080,"text":"very nice game. maybe some warning that you get new halves when you make a connection. at first i though they were based on time and was just trying to solve the first ones but didn't have the proper connections."},{"author_name":"dj_pale","author_uid":"9921","time":"Sep 2, 2012 @ 11:54am","epoch":1346586540,"text":"Hi, thanks for the comments! I agree that the mouse interface is not optimal (the arm would ache after a while) and would have been better off on a tablet :)"},{"author_name":"MurrayL","author_uid":"7835","time":"Sep 2, 2012 @ 12:25pm","epoch":1346588400,"text":"Looks\/feels pretty nice, and plays well, but the difficulty needs to be adjusted.\r<br\/>On at least two occasions, I had seemed to have no parts that fitted any of the ones I could see.

I like your sound effects! \r<br\/>I didn't understand how the new pieces get made. At certain points I didn't have any of the pieces I needed.
