• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
for the red shape in particular it needs to be obvious how to flip it. it seems clicking the 'rotate' symbol eventually flips the shape, but that is misleading as it's not a rotation.
in 2p game it would be good to solve each other's set up sheets as both playing against the game it's obviously the person who doesn't make the last clue who will win. -

Report history
About the 2-player mode, it follows the official 3+-player rules, as requested by the publisher, and there're no plans to change it.
I suspect most players will see the lack of an option for flipping the red piece and understand that as meaning the piece can't be flipped. That potential frustration ("What do you mean I got it wrong? You never told me that piece was flippable!") seems like a much worse outcome than putting in an extra button to flip the piece. Besides, all other polyomino games on site include a button allowing for reflecting a piece when it's allowed and relevant, so I find it hard to believe that suddenly becomes confusing here.
Please reconsider this and add a way to flip that piece.
That's simply not true. You may get all four possible configurations of the red piece by clicking the "rotate" button.
At least you should create a banner to inform players that red piece can be mirrored.
