Pictozzle for iOS

Pictozzle lets you choose an image, and then breaks it up into 16 square pieces, so you can try and fit it back together efficiently. Test your skills on your own or in Challenge mode against your friends in this puzzle game that tests your ability to recall an image and reassemble it.

When you open Pictozzle, you'll see a menu with options for playing in free mode or challenge mode. There is also an Options button that lets you access music controls or check out high scores. No matter which mode of gameplay you choose, you'll get to pick where you want your puzzle image to come from. If you opt for the application library, you'll get a random cartoon image; and if you decide to use your photo library, you can select any picture you want from there. For the random application images, you'll get to see the picture whole for a few seconds before moving to the game board where it will be scrambled and broken up. To solve the puzzle, itself, you have to place each of the 16 pieces of the puzzle correctly into the 4x4 grid that takes up most of the screen. The pieces are in random order on a slider beneath the grid, so you can swipe through them to find the one you're looking for. Once the pieces are on the board, you can't take them off. But you can move them around and switch them with others by dragging and dropping.

When you finish a puzzle on Free mode, you'll see at the top of the screen how many moves it took you, and you can go back and start a new puzzle. On Challenge mode, you only have a certain number of attempts to use, and once you've used up those attempts, a window will pop up telling you what percentage of the puzzle you completed. This app is free, and because you can use any photo from your camera roll, the possibilities for new puzzles are endless.
