At first I didn't like this, too may tiles all spinning randomly which made me think "is it even possible to get them all to line up?" So I persevered and yes I could get them all lined up. It was fairly easy in the end. All I did was scan across the top row until they lined up and then scanned down to get the rest to line up but there was a slightly annoying steady hand aspect to it.
The way you have it set up as long as the mouse position is at 360,360 - or multiples of - then all the tiles line up.
However, I think there's something here, it kinda reminds me of this game:
starlight. I had a played about and created a version where the position the mouse needs to be is randomised.

I think rather then having tile that need to be line you had a single picture that is revealed - flowers, kittens, trees that sort of thing - then this might actually work. You could have a easier stage where there are fewer tiles.
One thing you'd need to do is the make sure the pointer always has to be on the image - you're original 360,360 was actually off the picture which didn't feel right.
