ME iPSylt is both enjoyable and relaxing. It’s a bit difficult to describe how it works, you simply have to give it a go and see for yourself. But this much we can explain:
Shake it once and a stack will form.
Shake it again and a random number of stacks will form in different positions. Different again on every second shake.
Each stack contains one or more pictures.
Pull a picture to an available position and start to do the puzzle.
However, you can also create your own stack – take a part of the puzzle from the overall picture and put it in another one.
Start first with one stack and then make 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.
The possibilities for variation are virtually unlimited.
Thus, you can set your own level.
Here’s a tip:
The last picture to be added to a stack is always the second in the stack.
Try it and see.
This is absolutely great fun and never gets boring.
