There’re plenty of games on iPhone lately, but this one is really exclusive and totally worth playing. Before we start, I have to say that the first thing that catches my eyes was the picture-style, feels like sketches and very much enjoyable. And then, the gameplay is truly creative and full of fun!
Rafter is 21 levels of Da Vinci-inspired fun provided by Emantras, Inc.. The action doesn’t last very long, but this $0.99 title is definitely worth the money, cause Rafter presents one of the better physics-based puzzle engines I’ve seen out on the iPhone, and also, there is some replayability thanks to the OpenFeint-enabled scoreboards. The gameplay is indeed very simple: draw a shape at the top of the screen and have it drop onto the red mine at the bottom of the screen. Then again, it’s not quite that easy as you thought.
There are two kinds of obstacles in Rafter: the ones that move and the ones that don’t. The game also occasionally adds an extra challenge in the form of wind, but the gameplay always boils down to bouncing, rolling, or sliding your shape towards the red mine. You draw circles or rectangles at the top of the screen, each of which will bounce or slide off of in-game obstacles in a different way. The size of a drawn objecthas an effect on its mass too, that smaller shapes will fly further. You can use this mechanic to your advantage by making your drawings bounce off each other, to launch them into the level-ending red mine. However, you can’t simply take your time with your drawings, as every level features a time limit that affects your score. If you need a little bit of time to think, you can double tap any where on the level to pause. You get more points for completing a level faster, as well as for doing so with a minimum number of drawings..
I thought the experienced was tiered quite nicely, and the puzzles never got so complex that I just wanted to give up. So generally it is a really addicting game with a very much addicting core gameplay. Totally worth the $0.99, well, enjoy!

We talked about Nintaii right before it won best game in the BlackBerry Partner’s Fund Developer Challenge. There is a new version out and it takes advantage of the BlackBerry Storms accelerometer.
I can’t wait to see what other types of games start coming out for the the Storm…
One of the best thing about smartphones is that you can play interesting games to kill time and have some fun. As I am not a fan of huge complicated games, so interesting puzzle games become my favorite as a result. Here’s the one game I’m sticking to lately – Nintaii!
Nintaii has just won best game in the BlackBerry Partner’s Fund Developer Challenge. It is a brain twisting puzzle game of rolling blocks and switches. Be ready to roll your block over the course of this 100 level challenge. The objective of the game is to tumble a rectangular block through each stage and deposit it into the square hole at the end. Switches, road blocks and arrows are located in many levels. Switches are activated by having the block stand on it.
Just like most of the greatest puzzle games, Nintaii has a simple concept and yet proves to be very challenging, electrifying and attractive!
The Japanese kanji ‘nintai’ means patience, perseverance, or endurance, and to my experience, the game is quite ‘nintai’. Well, weather it is overly-famed or just really deserve the fame, now check for yourself!
