Shenkuu Tangram

[Siouxper]

Basically, you must arrange the shapes in such a way that it forms a tangram. Here are the solutions (the order may vary. Sorry for messing a few of them up )

Level 1:

Level 2:

Level 3:

Handy puzzle aids, Siouxper! Thanks!

[Siouxper]

Hope it helps some people out There is a glitch in the game (won't go into detail) that allows people to score a ridiculous amount of points (we have confirmed that someone scored over 11,000 points ). I really hope TNT fixes it soon so we can all have a shot at the trophy.

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.

Thanks for the answers Siouxper.

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.

is it just me being really dumb, or is there something wrong is the bunny one in level 1.
for me, the parallelogram wont fit as an ear
i'm probably just being really dumb though. LOL

You can use the up and down arrow keys to flip the parallelogram over.

Keri, I completely agree that it was a good concept executed poorly. It's like the puzzle game programmers either don't understand how puzzles should work (which is unlikely if they're decent programmers) or are just too darn lazy or busy to do it right.

I agree. I failed a few levels because it would not accept some of my answers. It's a decent game, although it can definitely be improved.

[eilu]

Yeah, me too on the whole "they don't get tangrams have more than one solution" thing. *sigh*

When I first saw the announcement I thought "YAY tangrams!" but the way it's executed is just off. o.O

[butterflygirl]

I actually like it. I haven't had too many issues with placement, and though the two triangles/square mixups are minorly irritating, I've played it enough to have learned which goes where. I am annoyed by the whole glitch problem though. I'd have gotten a trophy for it first night if it weren't for the glitch... Other than that though, the game is quite fun.

[Evil Stu Man]

Its ok. I dunno why the placement keeps stuffing up on the ostrich in level 2.1 . But still it can be improved. I'll see what I can do on my day off next week.

I couldn't agree more! There are a few of there designs with a large number of possible solutions and it's beyond irritating that they'll only accept one.
I keep going -- ooh i love tangrams I'll play this, and then giving up in frustration.
