Tower-building puzzle game proves a worthwhile challenge

by Lex Friedman, Macworld.com

Moonlights is a $2 physics-based puzzler from BonusLevel.org packed with nearly 100 levels. You’re tasked with assembling a tower all the way to the moon, and it’s not easy. Balance is key: Your tower is subject to the whims to gravity, and gravity is one tough mistress.
