Piece Corps is now available in Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese (simplified & traditional) languages. Players have the ability create levels to share with even more friends across the globe and available to nearly every smartphone or tablet device.

"We live in a world where time, location and now language doesn't have to be a barrier for communication," said Joe Doucet. "Piece Corps embraces the ability for a young player from the US to interact with and play with someone in Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, or China and vice versa, all while being in a fun and safe environment."

New Playable Pack

As a "thank you" to the Piece Corps community, the team behind the game has released a new game pack with more challenging puzzles in order to curb the Evil Scientist's endless pursuit for the "Book of Dreams."

Since the game's launch in December 2012, the development studio has optimized the game to better function for all players, including more intuitive controls and simplified tutorials.

Piece Corps can also be downloaded from the iTunes store and on Google Play for Android compatible devices.
