Hello all, I'm a big fan of logic games that use pathways, switches, blocks, etc. Some examples would the the Lolo and Lost Vikings series back in the NES days. I used to have a Pocket PC phone and I loved a game called Brainstorm: http://www.clickgamer.com/moreinfo.htm?pid=234§ion=ppc In this game you had blocks that would have their own personal gravity, and some switches that would alter that direction in some way. The goal was to clear all of the cubes from the board by bringing similar blocks together. I've found Bobby Carrot and Magnetrox already on iPhone and I think they are both great games - are there any others like this available? Searching the app store for games is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Magnetrox made me sad because I had a design doc for the same thing sitting on my computer. It's a great game I'll be watching this thread too. Droplitz looks like it has potential. http://www.appcraver.com/droplitz/
I've had a game ive been playing for a while now called Pathways. Pretty good. Has 75 levels and autosaves. http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=293758335&mt=8
I picked up Mouse House, Loopy Laboratory, and Pathways. Mouse House in particular is almost exactly like Lolo which is great. If you aren't familiar with the Lost Vikings you basically had 3 characters each with a different power (1 jumps, one climbs, one is strong) or something like that and you had to apply their abilities in such a way that you opened the exit. It's been a long time so I'm sure I don't exactly remember what they could do. Looking for similar concepts like that. Also, any good ones where you manipulate gravity or the paths of objects? Another classic I remember is Pit Droids on PC where you had conga lines of droids that had to each make it to the appropriately colored exit, and you had to put arrows in different hexes where you could repaint, redirect, or otherwise alter the different lines of droids, with the ultimate goal of getting them all to safety.
I dont know if u know/liked Chu Chu Rocket on dreamcast , if so , there is Run Run Sheep . It is pretty new and still not very known .. but i think it may fit in puzzle / path http://www.fiveamstudio.com/runrunsheep
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....I remember the Lost Vikings. Would lov that game to come to the iPod. Here is a clip for those old enough to want to reminisce http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2qujZd1xFY

It is not mentioned often, but I think that you will like it - Timeloops. It is a game involving time obviously and your helpers are ..... yourself... You have to manipulate various objects and using your time self, go back and forth to have to solve rooms to move to the next place. Great game, unfortunately never achieved a high level of popularity, but it should have.
Alice in Wonderland is a pretty good platform puzzler with things to activate and characters with different skills to switch to in order to solve a level.
Tried it out on an iPhone 4 using os 4.01 and played 3 levels. Works fine. Graphics look good. Controls are touch screen. Touch to move the guys, touch very buttons. No tilt.
