“Join the pieces in this baffling puzzle game”

You may not know what a Tangram is, but I guarantee that as soon as you start playing this Palm game you'll remember it from when you were a kid (or you from now, if you are a kid).

The object of the game is to position your seven pieces in the right place in order to mimic the picture you're displayed. The pieces must not overlap and you must use all of them. You can rotate the pieces and move them using your stylus. This is fine but there's no option to rotate them anti-clockwise, meaning it often takes ages to spin back around to the right angle if you overdo it.

If you're thinking this is boring then you're wrong, because Tangram is packed with variety. There are three difficulty levels to play, containing around 200 puzzles. What's more, you can choose between two model sizes, where the small one is the most difficult owing to the fact that you can't overlay the pieces on top of the model. You can even play against the clock to really test yourself.

Graphically, Tangram is colorful enough and you can customize the textures of the pieces to add even more variety to the game.

Although positioning the pieces can be cumbersome, Tangram still represents an addictive and mind-boggling challenge.
