This game designed to play with thumps when holding your phone with two hands but you can play it with one hand with two fingers as well. Also means, Polygon is optimized to play with an iPhone even if you still can play it on an iPAD. When playing the Polygon you are going to win points whenever you placed a piece to its right place but with some catches. You can drag the puzzle pieces with one or two finger when using two fingers you can also rotate the piece and you don't have to touch screen where the piece is even if you could. You can use any part of screen to drag or rote the piece. When you drag the piece to its place you win some points but if you can place it by throwing, you will get more points and if you can bounce it from sides you will get even more points. Throwing points will be depended on how far the piece's distance to its right location when your throwing finger left from the screen. You can chose previous or next pieces by using arrows at the bottom of the screen with some penalty.
