Spin and swap! A cousin of Rubik's cube, it's a puzzle you can start working on immediately -- it's so simple! Spin the ring of numbers around with your finger, or swap all the pairs of numbers over the pairs of balls of the same color by flicking down from the 0-ball. The numbers start out all mixed up -- your job is to return them to the Home position where the number over each ball matches the small gray number next to the ball. So easy ... and yet ... Solve it by combinations of spinning the ring of numbers or doing a swap. The game generates puzzles by random moves, so each puzzle is solvable ... but that doesn't mean it will be easy!
