If you've got time to kill (anywhere from 20 seconds to a few hours), iShisen might be right for you. Shisen-Sho (“Four Rivers”) is a tile matching game. The objective is to remove all the tiles from the board in the least amount of time. Matching tiles can be removed if they can be connected with three or fewer horizontal and vertical lines. Lines may extend around the outside of the board, but may not cross over other tiles.

- Moving image puzzle mechanics
- Swapping and sliding puzzle modes
- Customizable tile count
- Adjustable scrolling speed and direction
- Use personal photos for puzzles
- Built-in and custom image options

Unscramble the pieces of a puzzle, while the picture itself is not standing still! The photo is scrolling over the tiles, so try to keep an eye on small conspicuous features as they move off one tile onto another, to figure out which tiles go together. The game even has a choice of two different kinds of puzzle: In "Swapping" mode, you can swap any two pieces by either dragging or tapping them. The "Sliding" mode works like a classic "15" sliding puzzle with the gap at the bottom right. Only you're not limited to 15 pieces, of course. You can choose the number of tiles, the scrolling speed and the scrolling direction. The game comes with six pictures included, but you can also choose any picture from your library or even take one with the camera.
