The classic slide puzzle has been revitalized with new playing variations and features that gives this old standby new life. "Sudoku Slide Puzzle" combines slide puzzles and Sudoku logic (not repeating a number or color within a single row or column). "Ring Slide Puzzle" is a colorful new option, where you move colored rings to surround circles drawn on the playing area. And, of course, there is the classic slide puzzle, which can be played with one of the built-in images, or using your own photos (with or without numbers or letters on the pieces). Each game variation can be played in either normal or "memory mode". In memory mode, the pieces are hidden as soon as you start moving them. The clock only runs while the board is visible, so the more you can do by memory, the better your time will be! When you feel you are ready, try one of the 3 Game Center Challenges, to see how you compare with other players around the world! Slide It+ is big on features, but small in price and size (i.e. it doesn't consume a lot of valuable space on your device). This makes Slide It+ the perfect slide puzzle app to keep on your device, always ready to provide a fun and quick (or not so quick) puzzle game, and to help you prepare if you are chosen as a contestant on Survivor!
