Magic Fifteen is a two-sided sliding piece puzzle, consisting of 17 tiles in a 5x5 square. The middle three columns have vertical sliders moving 4 tiles up and down. Horizontally again three sliders are in place, the top and bottom ones in the first and last row also moving 4 tiles and the middle slider, spanning three rows, moving 3x4 tiles left and right. The top horizontal slider will only move, if all vertical sliders are up and the bottom horizontal slider only moves, if all vertical sliders are down. On the front side, 15 of 17 tiles are numbered in roman numbers 1-15, one has an asterisk and one is black. On the back side, the tiles are numbered in arabic numbers from 0-15, where 0 occurs twice.

Read full description

Restore the order in some parallel 2D universe by matching color patterns of tiles on a surface of a doughnut. Or, if you prefer scientific terms: on a surface of a torus. And all you need to do is just to slide tiles by swiping anywhere on the screen. Conquer the leaderboard! It's only the chosen few in this universe are capable to beat this game. Fun fact: Legendary levels were never solved by any human being, devs and beta testers too! (I know that it's solveable since I scramble from the solved state). Be the legend!
