Emanuele Feronato continues to update his Drag and Match game engine for Phaser 2.6.2:
"In most cases, small things make simple games look great. If you look at my latest HTML5 Drag and Match engine updated to Phaser 2.6.2 with masks and a lot of custom options you will see when you drag and then release the mouse there isn’t any kind of animation and tiles just jump in their final position.
This is not possible in a game made in 2017. You have to add an animation to make tiles smoothly move in their final position. That what I did and what I am going to show you in this post."
