Challenge your puzzle solving abilities by unscrambling images of colorful and interesting repeating patterns. Pattern Fun includes several game variations to keep things interesting: (1) Block puzzle - freely swapping any two pieces (2) Slide Puzzle - rearrange tiles by shifting them one at a time to the open space. (3) Puzzle with rotation - pieces may be both swapped and rotated. (4) Stretch Puzzle - pieces have variable sizes, and are stretched to fill the space. Drag pieces to swap. Each of the above game variations can be played in varying sizes, allowing you to play at an easier or more challenging level of difficulty. In addition to all the built-in patterns, you can also import unlimited new patterns that you create with the Pattern Artist (or Pattern Artist Free) app. A "Best Times" list and statistics are tracked for each game variation, so you can challenge yourself, or you can turn off the clock for a more relaxed game.
