IPhone or iPod touch owners who enjoy puzzle games will find plenty of head-scratching challenges in TeemSoft's CubicMan, available as a 10-level free version (CubicMan Lite) or the full 80-level version (CubicMan Deluxe) for just $2.99.
For each of the uniquely-designed levels, the goal of the game is to use your fingertip to move a 3D rectangular object from one spot on a grid to the marked finish. The catch is this cube must be standing upright on the final spot in order to finish the level. Because of its shape, you must carefully study the layout and plan your moves so that it avoids obstacles -- such as walls and ledges -- while inching towards your goal. Handy teleports help to transfer the cube from one spot on the level to another.
A single tap near the edges of the screen moves the camera to better see the level, while tapping two fingers anywhere on the screen zooms in. Tap three fingers on the screen zooms back out.
The Arcade mode keeps track of all of your moves and has you complete levels in a specific order. The Free Play mode lets you choose to play any of the previously completed levels for fun.
