Tangram Swap
Tangram Swap
There are so many types of swapping challenges that require you to think how something would fit in one way and not in another as is the deal of Tangram Swap. This is a puzzling challenge where you're trying to create an image using the shapes you've been given. You need to see the full structure within the random assortment of shapes you've been given. By seeing the shapes as a whole, they can become so much more than just small angular pieces. By doing that, you'll complete multiple pictures using the shapes that you've been given and there's more to it than just that.
About Tangram Swap
The challenge with trying to recreate something comes with trying to see it when you're not looking directly at it. This game is easier in that regard since you always have access to the image you're trying to make- The pieces are scattered in a confusing arrangement that challenges you to look past it so that you can start to make progress toward recreating the presented image. This is what pushes you to move the shapes and play with orientations so that new visuals are revealed to you and so things will start to come together the more you play with what you've already got.
How to Play
Tangram Swap is a 2D puzzle game about arranging shapes to create that which is presented by using the mouse. To interact with pieces, simply move the cursor over to them and click on them with the Left Mouse Button. To swap pieces, click on one and then the one that you want to swap it with. To rotate a piece, click and hold on it and then drag it around to change its rotation. The goal is to arrange the shapes that you have so that they match the silhouette on the left side.
When the level begins, you'll be shown the silhouette and then given shapes that will be randomly arranged on the right side of the screen. The challenge is that you can't move the shapes freely, you need to swap them with other shapes in the arrangement. You can rotate them in place and then swap them with any other shapes in the space. Once all the shapes are arranged to perfectly imitate the silhouette on the left, then the level will be complete and you can move on to the next one.
Tips and Tricks
This is a combination of a puzzle and a sliding tile challenge. Like with a regular puzzle, it makes sense to start from the outside and then move toward the middle. Try to see the larger shapes on the outside of the structure.
