^7 This  is  a  very  nicely  presented  puzzle  game by the authors of
^7Magical Young Artist.

^6 This puzzle takes pictures and slices them and muddles them up, it's
^6up to you to un-mix them and place the pieces correctly in the frame.

^7 There are 3 difficulty levels, Easy, Medium and Hard.  There is also
^7a  choice  of the number of pieces you wish to start with, 6, 16, 28,
^736, 42, or 84.

^6 You  are  shown a mini version of the picture you have to un-mix and
^6after  a  few seconds it is wiped off the screen and is replaced by a
^6screen  with  your  picture sliced up.  Some pictures are sliced into
^6blocks,  others  into strips which really makes you think about where
^6to place them.

^7 Each  piece  can  be  picked  up  or  put down by clicking the mouse
^7button.   When  you have a piece on your pointer, move to the left of
^7the  screen which then slides over to reveal the frame into which the
^7pieces are placed.

^6 You  can  arrange  the pieces on the first screen before transfering
^6them  if you wish, sometimes this is a help, other times a hinderance
^6as  the  game  is set against a timer.  You have to finish the puzzle
^6before  the  timer reaches zero, any time left is added to your score
^6as  a bonus figure.  Completing a puzzle takes you to a new one which
^6is a little harder.

^7 The  easy  6 piece puzzles are quick to complete, although the clock
^7ticks  away the time quite quickly!  The higher the number of pieces,
^7the slower the time moves.

^6 The  84  piece  option  is really difficult, but perhaps it will get
^6easier with practice!

^7 There is a wide range of pictures, and these are chosen at random by
^7the program.  The graphics are nicely done and the whole game is well
^7presented.   The  only  thing  that annoyed me was the sliding screen
^7which  made me a bit dizzy after half an hour!  Still, very addictive
^7and recommended.
