Lighthouse Jigsaw
Control
Mouse drag and drop is a core interaction mechanic in modern game design, enabling players to directly manipulate objects by clicking and holding a mouse button to grab an item, moving it freely within the game environment, then releasing to place or activate it. This intuitive system bridges player intent and on-screen action, frequently used for inventory management, puzzle-solving, environmental navigation, and tactical positioning. Well-implemented drag-and-drop physics create tactile satisfaction through visual feedback like object highlighting, trajectory previews, and snap-to-grid precision, while poor implementation can fracture immersion through misaligned hitboxes or delayed responses. Designers often layer this mechanic with secondary inputs—holding Shift for precision placement or Ctrl for multi-select—to deepen strategic possibilities without overwhelming players. The mechanic’s versatility supports everything from casual match-three puzzles to complex RTS unit deployments, making it a universal tool for fostering player agency through spatial reasoning and real-time decision-making.
