TaMiGoN 1.1.9

TaMiGoN - A captivating logic puzzle game
TaMiGoN is a new and unique logic puzzle game. The game brings together game elements from the Chinese Tangram puzzles and mixes them with modern Action Puzzle ideas such as color and shape matching.

TaMiGoN is a follow up to the popular BoXiKoN game but its features make it more like a 'sister game' than a sequel.

TaMiGoN uses a set of shapes based on the Chinese Tangram puzzle. These shapes are made up of triangles and diamonds rather than blocks. TaMiGoN uses a set of 400 different Tangram style shapes!

Tube of Shapes

The game uses a fixed number of shapes in each game. Easy mode has 400 shapes, Medium mode has 600 shapes, and Hard mode has 800 shapes. There are only 400 unique shapes in the game but in Medium and Hard modes some of them (the smaller ones) will appear more than once. The ultimate object of the game is to use up all the given shapes to complete the game.

You can see in the picture a tube representing how many shapes have been used. Also you can see the dispenser which holds the next four shapes. You can pick up the shapes in any order so some shapes may remain in the dispenser for a long time. There is no rush; you can take your time to move the shapes and possition them in your own time!

Multicolor Shapes

It won't take long for you to notice that not all shapes are made up from a single color. This is where the puzzle factor comes into play. Some shapes (see image) are made up from two colors. This makes it harder to select the best location for forming single color 'patches'. For example, if you're trying to form a large patch of Red and your shapes all have bits of Blue or Green in them, you might end up with a few spare (Orphaned) triangles of color strewn about the board. You must then keep an eye out for this and keep playing 'tidy-up'.

Special Items

Blocker
These Blocker shapes will turn up at random; there's no way to avoid them. The only thing you can do is place them somewhere out of your way. One tactic is to place the Blockers in the corners and around the edge of the board. Another tactic is to set aside one corner of the board to place the Blockers.

Eraser
You will get a steady supply of Erasers during the game. Unlike all other objects, the Erasers can be dropped anywhere (even on top of existing shapes.) Erasers will explode as soon as you place them and any near by shapes will be erased from the board. Use the Eraser to clear difficult/messy areas and lose shapes. The Erasers can not destroy the Blockers!

Bomb
You will get a steady supply of Bombs during the game. Unlike the Eraser, the Bombs can only be placed down on the board in an empty place and they don't explode immediately. To explode a Bomb simply give it a click! The explosion will destroy surrounding shapes including the Blockers!
