Three variants of the classic 15 puzzle can be played:
    1. Slide the tiles in a random sequence to a selected goal sequence.

### 5/5 — Great retro game!

*2016-03-24*

This app is great - it's challenging and fun at the same time, so my kids really enjoy it. And it makes them think - such a nice change of pace from some other apps.

It has over 50 different puzzle goals, tracks your number of moves, time, etc.  So there is a lot of depth and lasting power for the price.

This app will be on my phone for a long time...
