Free games and jigsaw puzzles are fun for games lovers. AlterJig is one of them, it is a set of tile-based jigsaw games and puzzles. You select graphics supplied with the games or create your own puzzles from any bitmaps. When you select "new game", AlterJig scrambles the puzzles and challenges you to restore the pictures by rotating groups of four tiles to get the tiles back to their proper positions. Tile rotation is controlled by left and right mouse buttons.
Our Review: AlterJig is an innovative take on the old sliding-tile puzzle. The system of rotating four tiles at once seemed simple at first, but I soon discovered that this was hard - very very hard. Things only got worse when you move to the higher levels and the tiles start to flip as well as rotate. Oh and don't even bother with the 'crazy' level in which you need to rotate 8 tiles at once - eeugh! The interface is fast and quick, you can add your own images and the price is just right, it may be fiendishly difficult serious puzzle players should relish the challenge.
