I would humbly request you come back and take a look at the progress I've made. I've put a ton of work into this since your first impression.
Feels better now, definitely. Especially having some sort of particles and sound effects adds a nice touch. Music is a bit loud though (thanks for adding a volume slider).
Ultimately seems like I forgot/misunderstood some rules. When placing/accepting tiles, the impact on score is not obvious. :S
In total a big step forward, well done!
