The pin bounce when tapped

Touch feedback for the map's pins: shapes of vertical bounce stated in pixels and seconds, played at the map's three zoom levels over the game's screenshots, with a quiet ring where the tap landed.

Squash, hop and settle was picked and went into the game.

Edited for the Dev Log
  • Removed the links between studies; the tabs replace them.
  • Reworded the introduction and the note on the picked shape, which referred to who asked and who chose.
