The Kosen studio-haus, offering lifelike creations of distinction, presents a promotional puzzle, The Tumbler, for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

The Tumbler features favorite Koesen® pals in a puzzle format that is different from most any other puzzle you’ve put together before. The pieces are 3-D cubes, and using the accelerometer, tilt your device to turn, bounce, rotate, and slide the pieces into place. Each cube has the same image on all six sides.

There is a bumper in each corner to assist you in spinning or deflecting the pieces, and when the piece is in just the right spot over the corresponding picture, it will meld with the picture leaving only the slightest ridge. You can then use the placed pieces to assist in maneuvering the next pieces into place.

But don’t think this is going to be easy.

Choose more pieces, up to 36, and expect to spend a very long time completing the picture. Scenes with solid color, such as white, also add complexity in that not only must you get a white cube onto a white spot, but is it the correct white cube, and is the correct side up? For this level, professional puzzlers only please.
