I had to keep refreshing the page when I couldn't continue as there's no reset option, but that didn't stop me playing several games!  The graphics are simple but effective.\r<br\/>Some improvements - somtimes the pieces have separate &quot;islands&quot; of tiles, and it's difficult to tell which are part of the same piece when picking them up.  Also it'd be good to see what's underneath a tile that doesn't match, perhaps make it transparent?
