Turnabout

About

Turnabout is a puzzle game where players twist and tilt grids to guide pieces into place. Rotate the board and watch colored balls, blocks, and sliders shift under gravity, requiring precise spins to align them correctly. Each of the 100 puzzles uses distinct layouts, with solutions often needing just a handful of moves. Early levels focus on simple arrangements but later challenges mix obstacles and complex patterns. Progress unlocks puzzles in batches, solve seven consecutive puzzles to open the next set of ten. The game’s standout is its flexible puzzle order and creative freedom. Players don’t need to tackle problems sequentially, letting them skip tough spots and return later. A level editor adds replayability, letting users design custom puzzles with multiple piece types. Despite its 2000 release, the core mechanics remain sharp, with a focus on logic over luck. Casual puzzlers and strategy fans will find its compact, brain-teasing format still holds up.
