Zentomino/Pentanimals FAQ

Q. One of my pieces has grown too large. How do I fix this?

    2. Fully turn off the device, holding both the power button, and the Home button, until you're prompted to power off the device. Power off the device. Then hold the power button until the device starts again. Now try the game again.
