Spinning Image

Starting a Game

Level selection

The level selection screen is controlled by a cursor which can be moved with the joystick. The currently selected level or button will flash - press any of the Fire buttons to select an option.

There are five sets of 10 levels - completing at least 8 levels in the current set will unlock the next. Move the cursor to the bottom left of the screen and press fire to navigate between the sets.

Gameplay

Spinning image tasks the player with arranging the grid of blocks on the left of the screen to be identical to the grid on the right. Each grid has blocks of varying types

Move the joystick left and right to adjust the white cursor into a different column. Moveable blocks which are moveable can be removed from the grid by positioning the cursor over them and moving the joystick down.

The missing pieces of each puzzle are indicated by differently coloured green blocks - create blue blocks in each of these spaces to complete the level.

For the majority of puzzles, you’ll need to rotate the board. Hold down the fire key and move the joystick left or right to rotate the board clockwise or counterclockwise to fit blocks in the correct spaces.

If you make a mistake, hold the Fire button and move the joystick down to undo actions.
