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.
