Deceptively simple, yet a good exercise for your brain
JonnyWo
If you enjoy playing Loopy in Puzzle Maniak, this is a good game for you. There's just a couple of simple rules to follow to complete each of the 60 unique puzzles, but good visualization skills are needed to arrive an the single unique solution. Each puzzle gets progressively harder to solve, so it's easy to learn, yet challenging as you progress thru each puzzle. The user interface is well-designed, and allows you to save "checkpoints" as you progress thru the game. The only missing feature is a button to show you the solution if you get stuck.
An excellent logic puzzle for folks on the go, at an attractive price.

Like many puzzles of this type, the game has very simple rules, and the first few puzzles are fairly easy. They then become progressively more challenging. With 60 puzzles included, there is a great deal of entertainment value here. Example play movie on the start screen and clear instructions just a tap away make it easy to understand how to use the program, all inside the device. Zoom and pan make it easy to work on the larger, denser puzzles. Puzzles are saved, completed or not. This is the perfect kind of game for a commuter or anybody who wants to fill small spaces of spare time. Set the puzzle aside any time, and come back to it later.
Addicting

Logic puzzles that are simple to pick up yet take thinking to solve. Checkpointing so you can backtrack. Saving progress when leaving the game quickly via the home button. Above all, addicting gameplay. Sounds good to me!
Great puzzle game

This puzzle game is a great mix of logical thinking and problem solving It has a great interface, and when you finish a level and tap puzzles to select the next one, it intelligently selects it for you. It's a fantastic value, considering you get 60 puzzles when you buy it.
Addictive, Fun and Good for the Brain

I love logic and puzzle games, but I hadn't come across Masyu before. What a great game! The rules of the game are elegant and simple to learn, and there is exactly one solution to each puzzle. The puzzles start out fairly easy so you can get the hang of how to play, and they gradually become more challenging as you progress. You can skip around to different puzzles if you want to, and the game saves your progress for each puzzle that you've worked on or completed. The user interface is simple and clean, and maps very well to the touch screen on the iPhone. You can also use the familiar iPhone "pinch" to zoom in and out for some of the larger puzzles later in the game. When you successfully solve a puzzle, the board turns green and cues up the next puzzle. While Masyu doesn't use 3D graphics or the fancy accelerometer feature on the iPhone, it doesn't need to - those things would just get in the way. Rather, Masyu's appeal is in its simplicity and in its ability to make you think. And once you start playing, it's hard to put down. Of the handful of games I've bought since the App Store opened, this is the game I've played the most, by far. I'll try some of the other games again, but first I just want to finish one more puzzle...
Great, simple, challenging and addictive puzzle game.

I'm really enjoying this game so far. Then puzzles are challenging but remain fun. I also like the fact that its not time-based, so its easy to just pick and it and put it down whenever you need to. The rules are fairly simple; just make sure to read them before you get started and you'll pick it up in no time.
Fun game, needs better controls
Kevin Ballard
Masyu is one of my favorite types of puzzles, and this is a nice collection of 60 of them. My only criticism (and the reason for the 4-star rating) is the controls. I would much rather be able to draw a single continuous line by dragging and require 2 fingers to scroll the board. Aside from that complaint, this collection is definitely worth picking up, especially for the low price of $2.
Increasing Difficulty Engages Your Brain - Invisibly

I bought this game to support the developer as a friend and co-conspirator. I wasn't sure if I'd really play it. However, just today, on the train, I went to send an email and Masyu was up. 30 minutes later, I realized I was 10 levels from where I started and was enjoying the interaction. It keeps you engaged and the user experience is solid. Grab it! You'll get much more than $2 of value from it. Once you finish 60 levels, you WILL have a new skill. Take it to parties. Show it to friends. Stars: 1. for introducing me to a new game 2. for making sure I follow the rules 3. for no buggy code 4. for intuitive use of iphone features 5. increasing level of difficulty / engagement
Great Puzzle Game
ZacheryBir
Beautifully simple, and wickedly challenging at times. Would love to have pinch/zoom for some of the larger levels. My fingers are too big. [Update] What a maroon! Pinch/zoom is already there! I don't know how I overlooked it.
The best kind of game
jdgecage
Cheap, fun, no frills, intelligent puzzle solving with a great difficulty curve. Auto-saves if you leave a solution in progress, and has been very addicting so far. Well worth the money.
