I’ve been trying that as well using tweens, but I have a somewhat similar issue with it. Because the tweens try and find the shortest route from point a to point b, the rotation sometimes reverses when the tween to the winning angle begins.
(More info on that here)
This is also a small part of a larger project, and the other people I’m working with suggested trying the 2d physics over 3d and tweening. I’m also the guinea pig to see if Play Canvas would be a suitable engine for future projects.
