Overview

Rotating Puzzle is a tile rearrangement puzzle, similar to sliding puzzles such as the 15-puzzle. Sliding puzzles use one free space to slide tiles, but Rotating Puzzle has no free space. Sliding one tile also slides the three surrounding tiles at the same time, swapping the positions so that the four tiles rotate. Therefore, if you move tiles carelessly, tiles that you do not want to move will move.

Privacy Policy

Rotating Puzzle itself does not collect any personal information about the user. However, the banner ad at the bottom of the screen uses the user's location information, ID, usage data, and diagnostic information.

Operation

The "axis" of rotation of the four tiles is determined by the "direction" of movement and the "position" of pressing the tile. When you move a tile to the right, the upper right corner of the tile is the axis when you press the upper half, and the lower right corner of the tile is the axis when you press the lower half. When you move a tile down, the lower right corner of the tile becomes the axis when you press the right half, and the lower left corner of the tile becomes the axis when you press the left half. It seems complicated to write in letters, but it can be operated intuitively on the screen of the application.

Feature

It is known that sliding puzzles have unsolvable patterns, but Rotating Puzzle has found that any pattern can be solved if it is 3×3 or larger.
