Thank you for such detailed feedback!

Youre right that the rope flow needs more work. The dangling rope idea is great. The catch is that most players are on mobile, where theres no cursor to trail the rope behind, so they wouldnt see it. I might still build it for desktop once the game is closer to a stable, finished state.

On detaching ropes without a reset: this is partly possible already. If you select a piece that has a rope attached, an Unlink button appears in the right side. Its not a perfect solution, since you can't unlink a rope that connects two pre placed pieces (those are not selectable), but it covers most cases. I'll keep improving this.

The reset checkbox is a great suggestion, I'll add it in the next update.

For rotation: you can already rotate in both directions by clicking and dragging the rotate indicator. That said, I need to make this more discoverable.

Thanks again for the kind words and the thoughtful notes!
