One Line: Circle & Conquer

As you can see, I solved all the levels of One Line: Circle & Conquer. It's a really set of puzzles. Unfortunately, I had to delete it because the file size is gigantic.  I must also confess that I used hints for about 10 of the 250 puzzles.

Lines: Connect the Dots - free puzzle app game for ipad

        

Lines: Connect the Dots is another topology puzzle app.  Remember last Friday's review of One Line: Circle & Conquer.  These are basically the same thing. Although that other game is much harder.


Today's game has 75 levels and I solved them in about 15 minutes. If you're having trouble with One Line: Circle & Conquer, switch to these. Once you know the trick, these become so easy!


I had a little trouble with one level because the dots were tightly packed and I was allowed to draw illegal lines between points.


There's one level with 3 stars that I particularly liked.


Hey, this game is totally free.

Block Mania! Free puzzle app game for iphone, ipad

Block Mania! is one of those 'All the Men Travel Together' to get to their respective destinations.  In this case, it's the small colored squares that are fixed. The large colored squares do the traveling.

There are 21 easy levels: moving just 2 blocks.  21 medium levels: moving 3 blocks.  14 hard levels: moving 4 blocks. I've solved all the easy & medium levels and 9 of  the hard levels.


These puzzles are well designed. I especially like the fact that I can solve these with lots of moves. I'm not a purist; I don't need to solve these using the least number of moves.


Mechanics: When swiping, you must an actual square, not an empty space, which I'd prefer. There's also a slight delay. After swiping the red man down, then the other squares will move down.

Very similar games:
Movez  Came out earlier this year. Pretty much the same as Block Mania but it has 1680 levels. I've solved 592 of them. That's probably enough.
Frozen Ice Cubes came out last year. What's different: there's a point of 'no return'.
Vubu came out 3 years ago. What's different: the vubu men have different powers. Very sophisticated.
Escapology, reviewed by Nicola Salmoria. He told me about this game ages ago. I played it and enjoyed it, but never blogged about it.

XXOO - free

     

XXOO comes from Yin Liu. It's kind of like Lights Out where the objective is to get all the tiles to 0. You do this by drawing rectangles of any size within the grid. Whatever's inside that rectangle will switch.
There are 200 levels. Ads started popping up around level 40 - at least for me.  I solved 104 levels in about an hour and a half.  Once you get going, these go pretty fast.  The ones I did were mostly 3-step puzzles.  Around level 90, they became 4-step.
I wish I could finish these, but I just don't have the time.
