In multiplayer mode two people can solve the same puzzle at their devices in real time. 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.

Back from the Klondike

Read full description

BACK FROM THE KLONDIKE Euler, the great mathematician, discovered a rule for solving all manner of maze puzzles, which, as all good puzzlist know, depends chiefly upon working backwards. This puzzle, however, was built purposely to defeat Euler's rule and out of many attempts is probably the only one which thwarts his method. Back from the Klondike is one of Sam Loyd's most famous puzzles, first printed in the New York Journal and Advertiser on April 24, 1898. As a fan of the Sam Loyd's work, I created this modern adaptation of the Back from the Klondike original puzzle and proposed 100 different mazes to challenge your mind. Starting from the center, go the indicated number of squares in a straight line in any one of the eight directions, north, south, east, west, northeast, northwest, southeast, or southwest. From this new point, march on again according to the number indicated, and continue on in this manner until you come upon to one of the goal squares located in the sides of the board. If you solve the puzzle, reaching a goal square, you will receive one star, if you do it without any help ("Show Visited" and "Show Possibles" options deactivated) you will receive an extra star, if you arrive in the minimal solution steps you will receive another extra star. FEATURES: - 100 different mazes - Optional sounds and music. - Multi-language: English, Spanish, French. More games: http://www.pegolandia.com
