Video Jigsaw

A picture puzzle. One of four pictures, a castle on a hill, a lighthouse, a hot-air balloon or a sailboat, is cut into rectangular pieces and mixed up. First choose the size of the pieces, from four very large ones to 140 small squares, and see the finished picture before it is shuffled. Move the flashing arrow to a piece and press to pick it up, then move to where it belongs and press again: the two pieces swap places. Picking the same piece again puts it back. You can look at the finished picture at any time. Put every piece in its place to win. Moves and time are counted, and the best result is kept for each picture, with more pieces counting ahead of a faster time.

Controls: Use either controller. The stick moves the arrow and works the menus; the left button picks up and places a piece, and the right button shows the finished picture. On the title, push up and down to choose START GAME, HOW TO PLAY or CREDITS.
