You can tell I'm starved for ideas when it comes to really short games. At least I don't need OBS and a way to play BBC Micro games for this one.
It's time for a game made for preschoolers! The goal is simple: match and fit each puzzle piece into its silhouette. Use the Control Pad to move things to their proper silhouette, and press the A button when you have moved a piece on top of the flip panels to flip the object either vertically or horizontally, depending on which flip tile you have the piece over. When you place a piece correctly in its proper place, you will get another piece; if not, you'll have to keep trying to put the piece in its proper place - and correctly flipped - until you get it right. When you are done with a puzzle, press B to continue. This game teaches shape recognition and exploration and how to work under a time limit.
There are three difficulty levels. On Level 1, you have three puzzles with three silhouettes each, and you have no time limit. There is no shape flipping.
On Level 2, you have three puzzles with three silhouettes each, and you have six minutes to get through all three puzzles. Unlike Level 1, there is shape flipping, and you will need to put the current piece over one of the two flip panels to the left to flip the shape vertically or horizontally. Your score at the end is your current time in seconds times ten.
On Level 3, you have three puzzles with five silhouettes each, and you have three minutes to get through all three puzzles. Like Level 2, there is shape flipping, and you will need to put the current piece over one of the two flip panels to the left to flip the shape vertically or horizontally. Your score at the end is your current time in seconds times twenty.
You can play against the computer, but you can also play against a friend. The computer player (known as "Electro" here) is not very bright, but at least you can get an idea of how to play the game from Electro.
When you complete all three puzzles, the game is over. You can play with the same number of players and difficulty levels, or you can pick a different difficulty and select between one- and two-player mode again.
