I love tangrams, but this game annoys me because despite the fact that multiple solutions exist for the puzzles, they only accept one solution. Also, it's ridiculously over-precise in how you have to place the pieces -- you actually sometimes have to place them slightly off for them to register, which made playing it on hard frustrating. Add to that how few puzzles there are, and I have to give it a C.
Ooh, I have to agree. There's one where you have two parallelogram shapes (one is made of the two small triangles), and it took me forever to figure it out because I kept putting the one shape where the two triangles were meant to go. And there's another where you have the two triangles making a square, but I kept putting the square there at first.
Also, I find this game irritating because it's awkward to play on my laptop. I don't do well using my mousepad with my left hand, so I have to sit with my arms crossed and use my left hand for the arrow keys on the right and my right hand on the mousepad in the middle, because I didn't have any luck dragging the pieces to where I wanted them, then rotating them - once I released the mouse button, if it was the wrong shape, it counted as a bad choice.
It's kind of irritating the same way that Roodoku game is irritating - they had a great idea, and it's not at all a difficult game, but it wasn't executed very well.
