Description

Current tile animations can feel sluggish or laggy, especially on lower-end devices. Overly long or heavy animations for merging and spawning tiles impact gameplay responsiveness. Players should have control over animation speed or disable them entirely for faster play.

🎯 Proposed Solution

  • Add an Animations Toggle in the settings menu.
  • Allow players to:
    • Disable animations entirely.
    • Choose between “Normal” and “Fast” animation modes.
  • Optimize transition logic for smoother tile movement.

✅ Expected Behavior

  • Players can toggle animation settings anytime.
  • Fast/disabled animations improve responsiveness on all devices.
  • Smooth visual transitions even under high-speed play.

🧪 Test Steps

  1. Enable “Fast” mode → verify tile movement is quicker.
  2. Disable animations → tiles move instantly with no lag.
  3. Refresh page → ensure preference persists.

Research direction
Examine the existing animation logic and settings state management, then implement a toggle component with persistence.
