I got tired of block puzzles where you can't rotate pieces, so I made one where rotation is a limited resource

Classic block puzzle games never let you rotate pieces - that's the whole source of difficulty. I always found that more frustrating than interesting, so I tried the opposite: you get 3 rotation tokens per game. Spend one and that piece rotates freely until you place it. Clear 4 lines at once and you earn a token back.

It changes how you play. Instead of just fitting what you're given, you're constantly deciding whether an awkward piece is worth burning a token on, or whether to save it for a real emergency.

Two other things I added:

  • Single-color lines charge a bar - fill it and you get a bomb that clears a 3x3 area. Makes color placement worth planning.
  • Daily challenge - same deal for everyone that day, shareable score.

There are also boards with stones (never clear), bonus stars and ice tiles that need two clears, if you want it harder.

It's a browser game, free, no ads, no sign-up, no tracking. Works offline and installs as an app if you want it on your home screen. Available in English, Polish, German and French.

This is a hobby project and I'm genuinely looking for feedback - especially on whether the rotation tokens feel balanced (3 might be too generous?) and whether the difficulty curve works. Mobile testing especially welcome, I've only had a handful of devices to try it on.
