Getting tired of Sudoku? Why not try Marple?
Marple is a game of logic and deduction. The playing field consists of 20 tiles arranged in 4 rows of 5 columns each and a set of clues. The goal of the game is to figure out the correct order of those 20 tiles using the given clues by process of elimination.
There are four different types of clues: "In between", "Left of", "Same column" and "Next to". "In between" clue tells that the middle tile has to be located in between the other two. It however does not tell the order of the other two tiles or how far they are from the middle one. "Left of" clue tells that the left tile has to be located left of the right tile. It however does not tell how far apart they are. "Same column" clue tells that the two tiles have to be on the same column. "Next to" clue tells that the two tiles are adjacent to each other. It however does not tell the order of the two tiles.
Features: * 1,000,000 fiendishly clever puzzles to play so don't expect to run out of them any time soon! At 3 minutes / puzzle, 1 hour / day = ca. 137 years of puzzles! * Auto-save game state when exiting application * Hi-scores and gameplay statistics (total games played, total time spent, average time per puzzle) * Hint system that highlights a clue that you should be concentrating on next * Extended hint system that explains in detail what to do next * Graphical help with beginner tips * Gameplay assistants: Show warnings (warn when trying to eliminate a correct tile), Auto deduce (automatically deduce trivial tiles), Auto sort clues (sort clues based on their type), Give away two tiles (automatically solve two tiles)

Sudoku-style puzzler proves both challenging and addictive
One of my favorite things about the iPhone and the App Store is the plethora of inexpensive time-killers available. For just a dollar or two—and oftentimes for free—I can download an entertaining game that will keep me occupied while waiting in line or taking the train to the office. For the past month or so, my favorite such diversion has been the logic game Marple. According to its developer, Marple was inspired by the Palm OS game Hercule, although Marple takes advantage of the iPhone’s touchscreen to offer far better graphics and a better interface.
A thinking person's puzzle game. Unlike anything else, game play is quick and challenging...5 - 7 minutes per puzzle. I've been doing a puzzle a day for 6 months now and haven't tired of it yet. Looking in vain for others of the same ilk.
