Great brain teaser
Shadowsdream

Nurikabe Vault is great new brain teaser logic game, in which you use logic to solve puzzles (500 of them are included!). The user interface is a bit quirky but in a fun sort of way using dials to select the puzzle you wish to tackle. Scoring is based on the time it takes you to complete a puzzle and I can tell you that once you start one it's hard to stop. This is a perfect game when you need a the 5 minute break or mental diversion, you could probably solve a handful of the easier puzzles in that time, larger ones might take you longer. I love that there are so many puzzles included, going to take me some time to finish them all haha! The inclusion of Open Feint is pretty neat should you wish to see how your times compare to others or to issue challenges (though I haven't tried that aspect yet). All in all this game delivers a huge number of fun and engaging puzzles, it's going to see a lot of use on my iPhone.

fun even for non-gamers

I'm not a big phone games person, but after testing this game I think I may be a convert. Great way to entertain yourself for brief spans of time (or much longer spans of time, if you're standing in long lines). I particularly like how it saves state so if you get interrupted you don't lose any progress.

Beautiful game

After going through the quick guide, I was up to speed and ready to stumped by the multitude of puzzles the game offers. I love how it remembers what I've done on a puzzle, it makes it very easy to pick up and leave off when I only have a moment to play. The artwork in the game is stunning, I definitely recommend this game.

Amazing first iphone app from this developer. Unique, intuitive and beautiful interface, tons of content. If you like puzzle games, check this one out.

Remember how you used to be addicted to minesweeper?

This game is similar to Minesweeper mixed with a little bit of Go. It is a nice geometric puzzler. It appears to hold a few hundred hours of gameplay.

Great game

I don't play games, but my 9-year-old son does. I got Nurikabe Vault for him and put it on his iPod Touch about an hour ago. Haven't heard a peep since, which is strange, so I just checked out why. He seems to love it - so far he is still deep in thought as he plays it and can't put it down. That's a good sign - gives me time to write this. If it works for him it works for me, so based on this I will say great app!

Great UI, good graphics, eats battery

I think the user interface on this Nurikabe is great, and the graphics are clear and enjoyable. I wish there was an option though to trade graphic animation vs. battery life. As it is this game really chews up the joules.
