Welcome to pPuzzle

You can play the Pentomino game with your Mac.
What is Pentomino? The goal of this game is to put 12 colorful polygons(you see above) into the center table without overlapping with each other, like below.

We call each of these polygons Piece.
How to move a piece is just dragging it. Before putting it into the table, you might need to rotate or flip the piece. Please click your mouse on the piece to rotate it. Click near the piece to flip it. That's all.
If you would feel like trying this game, please download it in the popular Japanese website followings:

Or you can download the latest version from the site fllowings.

my home page

After you finish downloading, when you double click "pPuzzle" for the first time, you need to open it with Control key down at just only the first time.

And "pPuzzle" would be happy to tell you some tips, like where you should put a piece next. If you feel this game is difficult to complete, you could start with the Primer mode. Have a fun.

Required System:
Mac OS X 10.11~10.14.

The latest version is 1.3.5 which is updated on 23rd January 2019.
If you already have "pPuzzle X" of the older version, I strongly recommend to replace it with this new one. Some bugs have been fixed.

What has changed from version 1.3.2?

1. Name has changed. please refer to the history described in the Manual.
2. Drawer has gone. As Apple thinks Drawer design is old fashioned, I give up using this. Instead I adapt Panel. You might not have seen Drawer in this software. It used to appear when you would choose “Solve Option..” and input larger number than 1. But you miss it forever. It is sure I liked Drawer.
3. Animation failed to work properly due to the change of API in Mac OS 10.14 Mojave. And this has been fixed.

What has changed from version 1.3.1?

1. The selected piece in the Table becomes conspicuous.
2. Some keyboad operations are added.
3. Some bugs relating to drawing are fixed.

What has changed from version 1.2?

1. The layout of the toolbar has a little bit changed. Some items are removed. Newly added button help you to change level of Primer, or resize the Table.
2. Fixed the bug followings: When you open a file to which you saved a primer game, clicking “Try again” button causes Application crush. I’m sorry I forgot to write data for restoring the game to files. In this version, you can’t open such files.
3. Some images are redrawn more thoroughly.

I would be happy if I could hear how you feel about this software. Bug reports are also welcome. Please contact me via email. My mail address is in the about dialogue.

By the way, a picture at the top is a scene from my home town. The place is surrounded on its 3 sides by beautiful mountains.

Let me introduce ABRepeater , another software I have made.

"ABRepeater" is an audio player such as that Quicktime player, and is more convenient to control the playback point. If you are a foreign language learner this software is for you.
