    I got a promo for it last night, it's quite addictive. The only con I can think of is that the menus don't look quite as nice as they could, a little more graphical polish would go a long way. I don't really think the fonts fit the game very well either. Minor points though, the gameplay is fun.

    Yes Blockoban is awesome! Its listed at post #126. And easy way to tell all the ones that Mew has caught up with is to go to the first page and the first few threads have a list of all the games mentioned. They are in chronological order. Then in the thread is the app info!

    Like Kalah, Mancala, Congkak? You'll like Arkaneum! Very simple, yet fun way to play this traditional game, on steroid! Intro Arkaneum is actually based on the Congkak game, one of the Kalah/Mancala variants. In Arkaneum, you travel from one planet to another to play against your opponent. Solve the mission objectives in each quadrants of each planets to win. Basic GamePlay You can capture your opponent's ores if your ore distribution ends at an empty container. However you lose a turn after that. If you end distributing ores at the Teleporter, you earn a free turn. Single Arkaneum ores can mutate into Arkanites Ores randomly. Arkanites are very valuable so try to capture them if you see the opportunity to do so. Easy to play: - Missons mode - solve puzzles with different kind of objectives - Custom mode - select how many marbles you want to play and have fun! Arkaneum is a great time waster while waiting for somebody, or something. Play it on a train or while waiting for a bus. Sharpen your mind (or your kid's) with this game as it invites player to do mind maths to capture opponents marbles.

    NOTE: Optia syncs progress across devices! Please see below for directions. Optia is a beautiful, immersive physics game about reflected light. You must activate all targets in each level with a laser beam, powering the transition to the next. Fortunately, your puzzle-solving instincts come in handy here! Using a clever assortment of mirrors, you can reflect a beam in any direction, split it into two separate beams (or four, or eight, or sixteen...), and if you must, sacrifice your own laser to clear a path to that last target. And Optia doesn't end there! After cutting your teeth on the main campaign, you can create your own levels and upload them for others to play. With 100 main levels, more than one thousand user-created levels, and a polished ecosystem for creating, playing, and rating new levels, you never really need to stop playing Optia. And you can decide if that's a good thing. - Featured in Apple's New & Noteworthy - Winner of Applied Arts Magazine Award for Game Design ---------------- TIPS & TRICKS - To sync levels across devices, unlock the level editor by completing 30 levels. Then, in the Editor level menu (the wrench icon), create an alias and a password. Finally, load Optia on your second device, go to the Editor menu, and log in. - Load a previously solved level with its solution by tapping the level's colored dot in the level menu. - When scrolling through the level menu, tap the Optia logo to jump back to the level you're currently playing.

    "The gameplay is quite addictive, and once you are into Ringo everything else fades. [...]I found the puzzles quite rewarding to complete, and they get quite hard to complete. The game comes with 25 puzzles to challenge your lump of grey brain matter." -Touchgen

    "...the charming vintage presentation gels pleasantly with the genuinely innovative gameplay mechanic, which falls somewhere between Tetris and Vortex on the iPod" -Pocketgamer

    ----------------------

    Ringo is an innovative puzzle game with a Tetris-style simplicity. You rotate and match circles on the turntable of an old gramophone under increasing time-pressure.

    Try to get as many points as possible and discover different strategies to reach a new high-score. Compete with other players all around the world by submitting your points to a global high-score list. You can sort the high-score list by names and nationalities of the players.

    The addictive gameplay can be accompanied by gramophone-style piano-tunes or you can continue listening to your own music.

    In addition Ringo offers a puzzle mode, where the goal is to clear the turntable of the gramophone of all circle segments. The puzzles are played without any time-pressure and get increasingly difficult.

    Features:

    - Easy to learn
    - Addictive gameplay
    - Global high-scores
    - Additional puzzle-mode with 25 puzzles
    - Listen to your own music while playing
    - Local high-scores can be submitted to the global list at any time

    Sudoku Math Mini, tailored for iPhone/iPod screen sizes, features a suduko game style which infuses a math element into each puzzle. This Math style of Sudoku was invented by Tetsuya Miyamoto in 2004, which he used to teach his students mathematics. Sudoku Math takes Miyamoto's game one step further by incorporating square roots calculations in each puzzle.

    Scientific experts agree that solving challenging mind games like Sudoku puzzles inhibit or prevent the development of Alzheimer's disease and memory loss. Not only are these puzzles fun and challenging, but they are great for mental exercise.

    Features include:

    - Puzzle generator for unlimited play
    - 5 grid sizes, ranging from 4x4 to 8x8
    - Three difficulty levels for each grid size
    - Intuitive user interface
    - Lifeline/hint button to reveal an answer
    - Highlighter/pencil button to support noting multiple numbers in one square
    - Games get saved automatically when App exits
    - Game clock to challenge yourself and friends
    - Languages supported: English, Spanish, French


    HOW TO PLAY:

    The rules for Sudoku are simple. Fill each box with a number from 1 to X, where X is the grid size of the puzzle:

    4x4 game: fill in with numbers from 1 to 4.
    5x5 game: fill in with numbers from 1 to 5.
    6x6 game: fill in with numbers from 1 to 6.
    …and so on.

    Each number can only be used once in any row or column. In the Math style, the grid is also divided into heavily outlined sections which contain a target number and a math operator. The numbers filled into these outlined sections must combine (in any order) to produce the target number using the indicated math operator.

    Outlined sections that contain only one box will have a square root equation as the target. Fill in these boxes with the resulting square.
