The install of this game is straight forward. You can install it any where you want. Plus it is polite enough to ask, not force you, if you want a Desktop icon and/or Quick Launch icon.

Okay so it is a puzzle game. Which of course means that you have to put a puzzle together. Sounds simple doesn't it? Here is what really happens. You can play it as a strategy game.  In it after every three moves another piece appears. When you start a game in the demo you are given 7 pieces of parts of animals on a 6 tile X 6 tile playing board. Unfortunately for you they are not all parts of the same animal. Some of the animals you try to put together are a giraffe, dolphin, bat, butterfly, cat, bat,ape and some birds (there are many others). They fit together in combinations of 2 to 5 pieces. Once you get an animal put together it disappears off the board and you get points. Still sound easy? Well as soon as you start moving pieces around more pieces appear on the board. Makes it quiet a challenge.

Then there is the arcade game. A new part appears every 3 seconds so you really have to hustle to make complete animals.

There are also puzzles that you can play. In these games you have to find the right parts and put them together. The playing boards are all of different sizes and shapes. After you play a puzzle the first time you then get better scores in the next times that you play by doing it faster. If you want to give your brain a workout go right to "Big Cat Little Cat" (don't even attempt Sky Sports or Rock Faces until you get Big Cat Little Cat solved)  To get better scores I had to call in for help.  I got my 11 year old son playing.  He was better than me and really loves this game.  It is much better for your kids to be playing this game which really involves thinking than those shot-em-up games.

In all the games you can see the next piece that is going to appear in the lower left hand corner.
The colors and overall appearance of the game are really nice looking. It also has pleasing music and sounds.

In the registered version you get a whole bunch more games to play.

In conclusion this game is real winner and will keep you entertained and challenged for many a day and many a night.
