Work through an example
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.
Where a round can go wrong
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
