## What is Puzzlation?

Puzzlation creates puzzles using patches of colors.  The colors at the edges of two adjacent pieces must match. In "Corner Match", the colors span the corners of four adjacent pieces. In "Edge Match", the colors only span 2 edges, giving you less information about the colors of adjacent pieces (resulting in a more difficult puzzle). 

Games can be played as regular puzzles - where any two pieces can be swapped - or in slide mode, where there is an empty space and you must rearrange pieces by shuffling them.

After solving a puzzle, challenge a friend (or rival!) to beat your time with an "email challenge". The exact puzzle is sent to the person in an email, along with a link to the free version of the app in the App Store, which they can use to open and play the puzzle. When they complete the puzzle, they will be informed if they solved it faster, slower or about the same as you did. (It is left up to them if they want to share the result back with you…)

Puzzles are dynamically created, so you will never run out. Choose from 6 built-in color schemes for variety, or import other color schemes of your own creation (using the Pattern Artist app).

### 4/5 — Very good

*2014-10-16*

I started playing this thinking how on earth can someone complete the 6 colour games. But really, once you play 3 colours, you will realise that the 6 colour game is pretty easy. There is a logical way to play this game EVERY TIME and it's actually much easier than 3 colours. It's a great game and sometimes it's a little frustrating. My favourite and maybe easiest option is the 6 colour corner match and I'm now thinking about the slides and other options. A very nice game and if you have kids, I suggest getting them to play this as I'm sure it must be of some benefit in thinking improvement. I've given it a 4 because I can't help but think it requires some very minor tweaking of some type, but I'm not sure where??? Maybe I. The menu options... But I think if you're into nice puzzle games that are quick, this is definitely one for your collection... Definitely!!!
