Stretch, Wiggle, and Jiggle that puny brain of yours First exposed to Puzzle Maniak when I saw it come out for Nintendo DS homebrew and was instantly hooked. Now on iPhone pure heaven. Do not buy this if you just want to play these games on your PC/Mac. Download them for free (search simon tatham puzzles). Pay if you wish to play these on your iPhone. Has a web challenge for each of the 15 puzzles and a main daily challenge. Scores are kept on Puzzle Maniak's web site.My advice is don't read rules. Jump right in and click Solve button and try to figure out what your supposed to do. Then if in doubt read the rules which are included for each game. Here's quick overview of how to play each game. Many are of Japanese origin. Sudoku came from Dell Puzzle Magazine in 1979. Japanese just popularized it.Bridges (Hashiwokakero) - connect lines between circles making bridges. In each circle a number indicates amount of bridges that can connect to it.Dominosa - fill entire screen with dominoes. No two can be the same.Filling (Fillomino) - create regions by filling in grid with numbers. Numbers are equal to total region space.ith numbers. Galaxies (Tentai Show) - form 180 degree symmetrical regions so each dot is center within the region. Loopy (Slitherlink) - form one loop on grid. Each number indicates how many lines touch it.LightUp (Akari) - numbers indicated how many lightbulbs touch square. Lightbulbs illuminate and can't shine into another.Mines (Minesweeper) - everyone knows this one. Has zoom so easy to tap correct square.Net - rotate network connections so all are interconnected.Pattern (Picross) - numbers in columns and rows indicate how many squares are filled in.Rectangles (Shikaku) - form rectangles such that the area of rectangle is equal to the number in it.Sudoku - ever tried playing it with 9 unique symbols? I did, it's possible but don't recommend it.Slant - number in circles indicate how many slanted lines touch it. Slanted lines never form a loop.Tents - numbers in rows and columns indicated how many tents you place. Read rules on this puppy.Unequal (Futoushiki) - row / columns only one occurrence of digit like in Suduko. Greater than signs are satisfied.Untangle - untangle the dots with strings. So no strings (lines) cross another. Cat's cradle anyone?Some mentioned in previous versions of the single games they accidently clicked a button at bottom. That was rectified by moving clickable area below actual visual area of buttons. Many colors have been changed to be more visually appealing. Zoom has been added for many that didn't have it before. Disclaimer - I was a beta tester and did Japanese translation. Criticism - I think untangle would benefit immensely if it would visually highlight lines that are currently crossed with another. Also if anyone can untangle 16 dots on iPhone I want to personally meet you.

The best puzzle game!! This app is so awesome. I had this when my phone was jailbroken(hacked) and I always said I would of paid for this, and now I have too. It's honestly a great collection of games, I'm still learning to play most of them.
This has a great deal of replay value and it well worth the 5 bucks I paid.
Thank You.
Fix the stability though!

This new version blows This ugly green version breaks necessary features that were in the previous version. It makes it much more dificult to begin the correct game. It makes it impossible to complete 2 of the games. The user interface has regressed in usability.
The one upgrade is that the Bridges game is more responsive.
After spending money on this app and using it every single day I would have appreciated usage enhancements, not a regression making it half as enjoyable.
Just keep using the Lite versions until this version is fixed. You're not gaining anything but a headache by spending money on this version until it is fixed.

New Version is HORRIBLE - Please fix! I made the mistake of downloading the new version and wish I never did. The new green color is horrible - it's so dark and dreary. Second, the game has so many bugs that I don't want to play it anymore(I'm seriously thinking of deleting it). Two bugs I found in Pattern so far: the numbers don't line up with the boxes; I solved the puzzle but the game won't stop. I have to hit solve and it's the same thing I had. Please fix the bugs and rethink the colors so I can go back to playing with the games I enjoy.

I'm shocked What a shock after recently upgrading all my Apps, to find my most consistently enjoyable games turn into something so frustrating and unpleasant to use. The green/black motif is hard to see. Major bugs with Pattens has already been mentioned in another post.
