There's a lot of homebrew games and applications coming out for the Apple iPhone lately, and really, we aren't complaining - most games and apps are useful and entertaining. We've come across another game for the iPhone made by Brooke, and it brings loads of fun and nostalgia. Pieces, currently on version 1.2, is a puzzle game similar to the sliding puzzles you probably grew up playing. In Pieces, you have to move around the small pieces to unscramble an image.

Since Pieces' initial release (version 1.0), a lot of changes and improvements have been made to the homebrew game. The first release had only one picture to be scrambled and then solved, although you had the option to resize the image. Version 1.1 of Pieces had 11 more images to choose from, and they're playable in Landscape mode.

The latest release of the homebrew iPhone game Pieces now allows you to choose any image from your Photo Library - a wallpaper, a screenshot, or even a photo - to be used in the puzzle game. At the moment though, there's a slight glitch in Pieces version 1.2. Developer Brooke describes this error: "I did find that there were few times when I selected Photo Library, it left the file list and I had to touch the screen for it to switch to my Photo Library."

But really, that's a minor nuisance considering how much the homebrew game's improved and how exciting it is to play. You can get Pieces version 1.2 through the iPhone School repository linked below. Enjoy!
