The object of the game is to fit a fixed number of beaded puzzle pieces of various shapes, called pentominoes, into the remaining empty spaces on a rectangular game board.

Reception

Western commentators were disappointed by the high purchase price of the game, which totals to 5500 Wii Points if all additional content is purchased, as well as the lack of widescreen support and clunky controls. [ [http://wii.ign.com/articles/862/862009p1.html Lonpos Hands-On] ]
