This game...? Improves your spatial skills? Has a unique navigation style? Delivers amazing sound composed by Matthew HerbertYou actually get smarter playing PENTAPUZZLE – and it’s not only us saying so. Recent scientific studies have shown that Pentomino games such as PENTAPUZZLE are able to significantly improve the spatial skills of the player. Spatial skills are the ability to mentally manipulate two- and three-dimensional figures and are highly correlated with success in mathematics education.The navigation in PENTAPUZZLE is easy to pick up and fun to master and offers a completely new way of moving 3D objects around on a touchscreen device. By using intuitive single-finger gestures, it’s possible with one continuous move to pick up a puzzle piece, flip it, rotate it and place it in the puzzle challenge. This gives you very fine and fast control of the puzzle pieces once you master the gestures. You can even play the game with one hand using your thumb.The music in PENTAPUZZLE transforms according to the game's progress; as more puzzle pieces are placed in the solution area, new musical layers are added. The intricate composition by Matthew Herbert uses variable length audio samples with changing harmonies, making PENTAPUZZLE a musical puzzle as well as an actual puzzle. We like games to be more than just fun. With PENTAPUZZLE, you’re guaranteed to get a revitalizing mental workout and our ambient setting will make sure you're completely relaxed at the end of your gaming session.Read the full story of the game:http://PENTAPUZZLE.comGet in touch on Facebook:http://facebook.com/PENTAPUZZLEFollow us on Twitter:http://twitter.com/PENTAPUZZLE… Expand

    It's hard to fault PENTAPUZZLE on a functional level — everything you need to have a mildly amusing time is present and accounted for. With that said, we'd caution you to think hard before spending the launch price of $4.49 on something this middling; there are other options that offer similar experiences for very little, and some of them with a lot more content.

    Again, I firmly believe that those who like clever, challenging puzzle games will eat this up – this type of game has even been proven to help make people smarter – and if you’re one of those who really wants the game on their Wii U, go for it.
