Ivory Tiles Review (iPhone)

Ivory Tiles from Munkyfun is a cool logic puzzle game for the iPhone. Simply put you tilt the game board to slide the tiles into place to solve each puzzle. Sounds simple? Well for a control scheme it is and it�s perfect for this game.s You can choose to tilt the phone or touch the screen to play. This is a great option because in the car, on the metro or in some other situations tilting the phone might not be the best option, so turn it off and go touch.

Ivory Tiles has 88 tile sliding logic puzzles. There are multiple ways to solve each puzzle so you don�t have to find the perfect way to play the others. But going back to get all perfect scores is incentive to play again and again. I�ve got 63 right now and I�m still playing.

The graphics on the game are cool. In this iteration (they have another as well called Shift) the theme is a simple wooden board with chinese symbols and music.  Munkyfun could have copped out and went with plain boards but they didn�t. They added some cool, and surprisingly realistic, wood grains to the boards. The tiles have a fairly good ivory look to them as per the game name. The background behind all the boards is a starry sky which doesn�t exactly fit the theme and I would have liked to see something that followed the level progress - Beach, River, Mountain, Peak, Cloud, Heavens - which would have made more sense. This in no way detracts from the game whatsoever, just a personal point of aesthetics.
