I can't seem to get the pieces to slide with the mouse or key commands, including WASD or arrow keys. The "Solve" button moves the tiles sort of off the pad and kind of offscreen. Full screen mode has the tiles off the pad to begin with and the "Solve" button makes it worse.

Thank you for your comment. We will be doing an update soon to fix these bugs.

We have published a new version with bug fixes and usability improvements, we will appreciate your feedback.

This is much better. I can actually move the pieces around. There's still a couple things I think could be improved, though.

The solution should be pictured somewhere. I "solved" the puzzle one way, but it didn't register as solved, so I hit the "Solve" button. It showed the solution for a tiny fraction of a second, then blanked out with the "Victory!" screen. So I tried to replicate the solve on the next try. I believe I placed the pieces correctly, but again it didn't register as a solve. Hitting the "Solve" button again didn't seem to change the pieces in the brief 1/4 of a second (or so) I had to see the solution before the "Victory!" screen. I think slowing down the "Victory!" screen or making it not opaque, as well as displaying the correct configuration, would improve playability.

I do like how the moveable pieces are highlighted and how smooth they move. And the simplicity of this interface is refreshing, although you might want to include a way to mute the music.

I used to play this type of game as a kid 30+ years ago, so seeing it in digital form is a nice reminder.
