LandFormer is a great puzzle game that can be played in short sessions, which is perfect for the iOS devices. The design is simple: the player tries to flatten the board using different patterns. The challenge comes when trying to match or beat the number of moves the creator of the board took when creating it.
A board editor is included in the game that allows you to create new boards and share them via email with a snapshot and a link that loads the board into the game when clicked from an iOS device. Using a blogging service, such as Posterous or Wordpress, players can post their boards to the web via email for the entire community to share. The editor controls are the same as playing a board.
Purchasing the premium content gives you access to 50 new boards, save boards that youve created, and save boards that other players have created. The premium content basically ensures that youll never run out of content.
The iOS needs more games like this. The controls are well-suited for tapping, the menu is easy to navigate, it plays easily in short sessions, and user-generated content is available to keep the game fresh.
