Play Polygon as solo or with somebody in multiplayer mode as collaborator or rival and train your visual perception. 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.

Pattern forming game which develops creativity and visual construction ability. Pattern-forming exercises are part of the IQ measurement. The goal of the app is to create complex patterns on a board of tiles from the basic tile patterns. Can be used as an educational tool from age 8. Can also be used as a Discovery Toy in cognitive psychological treatments. But most of all, it's fun to play with, and you can let your imagination soar. Usage: The boards on the game screens contain tiles (at the start the tiles display empty/solid squares). By tapping a tile, you can choose from eight basic patterns. By dragging a tile, you can flip or rotate the basic pattern on it. You can compose complex patterns from these tiles. The app has 4 modes: • Create Create your own patterns. • Practice Practice how to reproduce a built-in pattern. • Training Explore the transformation possibilities of the tiles by trying to cover a built-in pattern. • Memory Game Train your memory to remember a practice pattern and reproduce it with as few selections and transformation as you can.
