Gridora — an 8×8 block puzzle in the browser (feedback on the drag preview welcome)

Hi everyone! Gridora is our take on the 8×8 block puzzle: drag a shape from the tray onto the board, and every full row or column clears. Clear lines with consecutive placements and the combo counter climbs.

 

One detail we are unsure about: while you drag, the piece is lifted above your finger or pointer, so you can see exactly where it will land. On phones that keeps the finger out of the way, but some players expect the piece to sit right under it.

 

The two screenshots are real gameplay frames from a run past the tutorial (combo 3 on a column, combo 4 a few moves later).

Feedback we would really value:

 

1. Does the lifted drag preview feel natural, or would you rather have the piece directly under the pointer?

 

2. Before you drop a piece, is it clear where it will land and which lines it will complete?

 

3. How did it run on your device and browser (first load, any stutter while dragging)?
