also it makes the cards go wonky like i wont be able to connect some cards with others and the scoring line will just stop even though it can continue
I think that is a bug which at least few people have encountered and completely unrelated to the tilt mechanic. It might have happenes to you just at that same time. There is a code injection which increases the tilt limit too which is tuned a bit low to make the injection seem like a more attractive pick.
