Just some feedback: the training bit of the first few puzzles just confused the hell out of me.

Puzzle one, I see a grid and what looks like a piece. There's a message that says swipe right, so I click-drag right with the mouse, and suddenly I get 3 stars and a congratulation message. What did I even do?

The same thing repeats for about 5 puzzles. Each time I just swipe left or diagonal or whatever, but I'm not actually learning anything about what these gestures do. I don't see anything move, I don't learn anything about the mechanics of the game.

Then I'm on a puzzle that says swipe -> tap -> swipe and...I have no idea what to do.

EDIT Oh. Once I understand the mechanic, all the puzzles feel trivial, because there are so few things you can do at any time. Each swipe/tap is either correct, or instant loss.



Fair. Maybe some illustrations showing the reflection mechanic before the training levels would help.
