  • Basic rules
    • You start with two screens.
      • The screen on the left consists of a silhouetted shape.
      • The screen on the right consists of a mess of shapes.
    • Rotate and swap each of the pieces on the right to form the shape shown on the left.
      • You cannot physically move and adjust the pieces individually.
      • In many ways, this game is much simpler compared to other tangram games.
    • In this game, there are no controls that let you check your work. You can still figure out a piece’s correct position based on how well it fits the others next to it.
      • If the shapes adjacent to it are correctly placed, they will not overlap or have gaps.
      • If the shapes don’t fit well, it could indicate that they belong somewhere else.
      • Be patient. It may take a bit of trial and error to figure out the correct positions of the first few pieces.
  • Levels
    • Levels are unlocked sequentially.
      • You start with only the first level unlocked.
      • Finish one level to unlock the next.
    • There are 24 levels in this game.
      • You can replay any of the levels you’ve already unlocked.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like tangrams games.
