Jigsaw Tussle
Chrome recommended for best performance. If you just get a black window, reload the page (this is a known issue).
Quick Start
Select level #1 and follow the in-game instructions. You'll probably get the gist of it pretty easily.
Details
Some spatial reasoning puzzle game.
Goal: connect a piece to each light in a stage to win.
Rules: pieces may be joined as long as they don't overlap, and at least one tab matches up with a slot between them. Pieces or groups of pieces may be tilted as long as this would not result in a tab overlapping the ground. You can tilt off the edge of the platform; you'll just be pushed back onto it. If a piece is standing on its feet (or any piece in the group has its feet on the bottom edge), you can walk with the arrow keys. Otherwise you can only tilt.
All levels are unlocked, in case it's too hard. Finish whichever ones you want. #1-4 are tutorial, #5-6 are pretty easy, #7-9 medium, #10-11 are a little more challenging but still not too bad. Free play mode is just for fun/practice, not intended to be beaten.
Controls
- WASD or arrows: move
- Up or Tab: cycle through selected piece.
- Hold down: crouch.
- Left/right while crouching: tilt.
- Space or enter: join pieces.
- Backspace: undo.
- Esc: quit back to menu.
- F1 within level: disable dynamic background (better performance)
- In free play mode, press 1 to add a random piece or 2 to delete the currently selected group of pieces.

very fun and surprising how difficult some are. crazy how you managed to make all of this in 48 hours
Really polished game! The later puzzles were a bit much for me but I can see the great amount of effort you put in to make the game fun and feel good.
great game!
Excellent game and a great amount of levels - thank you very much for the efforts!
The only point of feedback I have is that its difficult to tell who you have selected, once you connect many dudes, after cycling with tab.
Music is an absolute bop as well!
