undo button really needed

[-=PR=-_Miller]

I know its been brought up before but and undo button is really need. Just 1 tile undo. To often misclicks happen for the piece rotates right before you place it and screws everything up.

Undo at the cost of receiving extra negative game points for leaderboard games could be an option to think about.

I like this idea, but it would need to be prohibitive as to cause you to really think about if removing the tile is vital. I would suggest a loss of 500 or even 1000 points (that you must have to spend, no going negative) as a huge sign that you should only use the undo as a last resort. It should be for instances when, if the tile were allowed to remain, it would be catastrophic to your chances of continuing.

Otherwise, the game would be too easy if a correction was only a button away.

Either that, or it should be like challenges in sports, you're allowed a certain amount of undo's. Maybe you only get 3 undo's. Any more mistakes after that, you're SOL. And it should combine with the previous idea. First undo costs you 1000, second costs you 2500, and the third costs you 5000--which, again, you must have in order to spend.

There is absolutely no need to have any kind of penalty on an "undo a single last action" button. Keep the hypercompetitive git gud attitude elsewhere, it does not befit the type of game we have here.

[Rot Haifisch]

I agree with Stormfox. We don't need a penalty to undo an accidental click--sometimes you make a mistake, sometimes your cat walks on your hand and makes you click. Whatever the reason, to undo one tile should be no hassle.

[Wolfsmaul-GER]

1 undo without penalty would be completely fair, but more than that would be unfair and take away too much from the thinking and planning part

[Orgull]

Agreed. I've given up on maps after rotating the camera decided to place a tile instead. One tile undo is a must.

[lozacenz]

Well, that or making camera vs tile effects of mouse input be a matter of holding a modifier key on the keyboard rather than where the cursor happens to be at the time. (which would at least substantially reduce the issue)

[Chief Kay Strongbow]

Undo for the last placed tile would be nice. The game is supposed to be relaxing and fun so I see no reason why you should have any penalties.

[Killdrax]

+1

[mojo shivers]

Thinking it over, penalties do not jibe with the mood of the game, so I retract my earlier statement. Maybe there could just be a counter of how many undos you had during the game. That way people who want to see their score without undos can have that, and people who want to undo their last tile can do that without it affecting their score can have that as well.

[allegingmonk]

Maybe a five second rule would be good?

So it covers when you accidentally misclick and you immediately want to undo it, but not because you regret a tile you intentionally placed

[Snake]

+1 for this.

I posted the same thing in the Suggestions section.

Just one-level deep undo will help a lot. Misclicks happen a lot with how you move the map.

[dStahl]

Having played on both a powerful PC and a potato laptop, the issue with accidentally dropping a piece feels like an issue with mouse click and frame-rate. This game is very difficult to play at low refresh rates.

As an alternate to an "undo" button, perhaps look into why it is so difficult to play on low frame rates - maybe there's something that can be done to offer players with less powerful machines a better experience.

Exactly!

My mouse is old, and I need a new one, but every once in a while when I click the scroll wheel makes the tiniest adjustment, rotating my tile. A free single undo would make this a LOT less frustrating.
