    Can you recommend me good puzzle games for iPhone? I'm fresh iPhone 3G user, most probably the true stars of the AppStore are away from the Top100...

    Thanks in advance!

    Start with a "rush hour" puzzle, Unblock Me Lite is a good choice. Its free, and has 800 puzzles. (No idea why anyone pays for the full version.) They did add tiny ads to the lite recently, but I hardly notice them.

    Then buy Fling! for .99. I cannot rave enough about Fling! Its an extremely simply concept, just like the rush hour puzzles, packaged with a variety of timed, unlock and arcade modes that make the damn thing incredibly addictive. The polish level is very very high. Also, the thing about Fling is that the more you play, the better you get...the improvement is very fast, very steep, and keeps going a long time. The developers of Fling are still vastly better then the players on the global leaderboards for this very reason.

    Here's an updated copy-and-paste of a post I made awhile ago in another thread...

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

    As an avid puzzler myself, I thought I'd chip in with just a small selection of puzzle games I have on my iPhone.
    For a lot of these, there are free lite versions to try out.

    In no particular order...

    Puzzle Maniak is the king of logic puzzle games. 20 different games, with infinitely generated random games with variations and multiple difficulty levels... :)

    And I gotta plug Str8ts (lite) When you get tired of Sudoku, check this out!

    Nice list by Brett :D

    From that list, I second: Ynth, Nintaii, Sheepish (obviously lol), Alio the Woodcutter, Mouse About (this is the first puzzle game I bought), Blocked (second puzzle game I bought), Ivory Tiles (I just recently bought this, on sale now for 99 cents), Bobby Carrot (I have all of them, but only played (and is almost finished with) BCF so far).

    Apparently there is something wrong with Puzzle Maniak's last update. Pre-update the reviews were great...post update, its 2 1/2 stars over 177 reviews. And its 4.99! So looks like its now a game to avoid, not buy.

    Well, I can see why some people don't like the graphics overhaul, visibility from black on white to white on translucent green is a bit different. People complaining about how hard the menu is to use now aren't using their brains! It went from a scrolling list to icons, most of which are a shot of gameplay. The icons are in alphabetical order, and if you click once on them you get it's name and stats up at the top, click again to start it.

    Also, I haven't been able to spot any of the bugs, I play this one daily and haven't had any of the problems mentioned in the iTunes reviews. I keep seeing "two games are unplayable" and the only one identified with details is Pattern. I just played 6 games of pattern with varying settings for the hell of it, and did not see numbers out of alignment or the game not recognizing a completed game... The one thing I did see was that if you complete a game and leave to the menu, when you come back it will give you the "completed" bit again...

    How about Crystal Cave Classic? It's a new release, and I just finished the tutorial levels. 177 levels of puzzles. Very cool. You can download the Mac or PC demo version for free and try it out.
