Yes - knetwalk does use the same technique. There shouldn't be any troubles
cos we are using the base (the transparent bg of each sprite) or the same size
for each element. As long as this simple rule is followed we will always have
perfect alignment. (It does depend on artist's skills of course).

I assumed that we are talking about 2 different games. One uses rotation on
hover, the other - connections. And even if it is the same game there is no
problem. Remember - it doesn't have to be rotation, it could be some sort of
other interactive movement, which doesn't require connectors to change at all.
