About Kitchen Star
Kitchen Star is a puzzle for people who think in pictures. Each level shows an image that has been scrambled. It is divided into sections, and each section can be rotated. Turn the right pieces the right number of times and the picture snaps back into place.
The complication is that the image is made of connected chunks of lines, so you need to see how the pieces relate before you start turning. Otherwise you will find yourself going round in circles, quite literally.
Your score depends on efficiency. The fewer moves you use to restore the image, the better. That turns a relaxing tidy-up into something sharper, because the tidy-up is easy and the optimal tidy-up is not. It suits anyone who enjoys jigsaws, sliding puzzles or spotting what is out of place.
How to play Kitchen Star
- Study the scrambled image and work out what it should look like.
- Press a rotation button to turn a section of the picture.
- Check how the image looks after each turn.
- Keep rotating sections until the image is correct.
- Finish in as few moves as possible for a higher score.
Tips and tricks
- Find a section that is already correct and leave it alone. Build the rest of the picture around it.
- Follow the lines across the borders between pieces. A line that does not continue tells you which piece is wrong.
- Think before you press. Every extra rotation lowers your score.
- If four turns bring a piece back to the start, three turns one way equal one turn the other way. Use the shorter option when the game offers it.
