Look at the colors and shapes, remember where they were, and put them back on the board. In cLrS, the challenge is to rebuild what you just saw. HOW TO PLAY Study the pattern before it disappears. Then drag each piece back to its original position. Both shape and color matter. TWO MODES • Normal: rebuild the board without a reconstruction countdown. After a failed attempt, try again with the exact same pattern: colors, shapes, and positions stay unchanged. • Timed: place the pieces before the reconstruction countdown ends. Each attempt uses a new pattern. In both modes, the pattern is only shown for a limited time. A GROWING CHALLENGE Work through 100 levels, then take on 20 master levels. Circles, squares, and triangles combine on different board sizes, with up to 30 pieces. YOUR PROGRESS See your completed levels and attempts for each level. Progress is saved separately for each difficulty on your device. COLORBLIND MODE Turn it on in settings to add marks to red, blue, yellow, green, and orange pieces. These marks provide another cue for telling those colors apart, alongside hue. CHOOSE YOUR STYLE Choose a flat (Flat) or glossy (Specular) finish from the menu before continuing to play. A visual memory game for iPhone and iPad, played in landscape. Observe, remember colors, shapes, and positions, then put every piece back in place. Supports iPhone Duo.
