Beyond simple phone vibration
Many people think of phone vibration as the loud, buzzing motor that alerts you to an incoming phone call. That old technology used eccentric rotating mass (ERM) motors that had slow ramp-up times and felt harsh.
Modern smartphones use Linear Resonant Actuators (LRA) and Apple's Taptic Engine, which can deliver micro-impulses lasting as little as five milliseconds. They can simulate clicks, detents, texture friction, and solid collisions.
Tuning haptics for Block Flow
When you drag a piece across the grid in Block Flow, every cell boundary you cross produces a tiny, imperceptible tick. When the shape drops into a matching void, a firm resonant tap confirms the placement.
And when a full row clears, a rolling wave of tactile pulses cascades across your fingers. It makes your flat glass phone feel like a physical board of polished timber.
