About the game
Chie Magari Ita is a placing puzzle based on a traditional Japanese dissection puzzle. You get ten pieces, each made of straight edges and curves, and a frame to fill. Move them, rotate them and flip them until every piece fits without overlapping.
There is not just one answer. Every time you complete the frame with an arrangement you have not found before, the game records it, and the Gallery in the menu shows all the patterns you have discovered so far, with your play time.
Playing it here
This is a homebrew game made for the Arduboy, the open, credit-card-sized handheld with a tiny black-and-white screen: a new game by an independent developer, not a commercial release. It runs here in Ardens, an Arduboy emulator compiled to WebAssembly. Click Play now and choose Play Puzzle in the menu.
Your progress and the patterns you have found stay in this browser automatically; the game also saves the pieces as you left them. F2 saves the full state of the emulator and F4 brings it back. A gamepad works too. The menus are in English, and the game can show on-screen hints (Show Help in the menu).

A few things worth knowing
Start with the awkward pieces. The big, irregular pieces have the fewest places to go. Fit them first and fill the gaps with the small ones.
Flip as well as rotate. Many pieces only fit mirrored. If a piece almost fits, try flipping it.
Every solution counts. Finishing once is just the start: the gallery rewards finding new arrangements.
