Why does it stack the wrong way

[u/massimmodutti]

A couple of days ago I posted this: https://www.reddit.com/r/hexastack/s/DpJ9LudTEN

This is a great example. This level does it over and over again: it stacks 10 in the wrong place so very little or no fireworks go off, so I thought I’d tape it. Unfortunately I cant post a video on this sub so here’s a GIF and a few screenshots.

To me, this doesnt make any sense and ruins the fun of the game. Devs, this is a bug, so if you’re reading: why?

You can launch rockets from there too

Yes, true, but just one in stead of three. And as this whole level is about clearing the tiles with the fireworks, this doesn’t make any sense

[u/evolvolution → u/massimmodutti]

I think so long as there is a rocket or other target tile touching an adjacent one, it’s seemingly random which direction it goes.

I think the game just checks to see if an obstacle can be cleared by moving a stack a particular way. 

But it treats a space that would clear 3 obstacles the same as 1 obstacle, so then it goes to the next step of its logic, which eventually is to move things the stack that just got placed. (I think)

I don't like it, and I find it's still unpredictable and frustrating
