New Low Price Was $19.99, now $12.99

In respect to the original Brain Games, Pockster Newspaper Games is a collection of 4 of the game types we have all played, now brought to the mobile platform in a convenient package.



The full featured games are adapted to the mobile platform and take advantage of the ever-growing capability of the platform. For example, game state for each game title is saved so that you can easily pick it up where you left it off. Both Landscape and portrait modes are supported, as well as the popular sqaure screen devices. In the trial version we offer complete functionality (including state save) but limit access to the first 5 puzzles titles of each type for a total of 20 playable puzzles.
But what about the games themselves?
The standard game title pak included with the software features original quality themed puzzles created for this application, and includes the following counts:

* Crossword - 50 games
* Wordsearch - 50 games
* Crypto - 50 games
* Sudoku - 75 games

For a total title count of 225 games. ( Addtional quality and original game paks are planned for the true power user. )
Now, more information about the individual game types. Each of these game types were custom written for this application - this is NOT a game collection that was designed for any other purpose than to appear here in our set.
Crosswords
The effect of word play in our brain activty cannot be understated, and a challenging game of Crosswords can be very healthy to our higher functions. Our Crosswords implementation brings a complete puzzle to the mobile device, including full clues and screen drag for quick manipulation. A full screen zoom can quickly show you any incorrect letters for a hint.



A clue list can be selected and this will show a preview of the grid (with any letters entered so far in the puzzle) in order to assist with solving clues.



Word Search
A word search game challenges many aspects of cognitive thought, and is a natural fit to our collection for staying sharp while mobile.



Crypto
Solving a cryptogram can be challenging and rewarding. Here we have the mobile version which allows quick game playing with its own designed letter selection tool (for keeping the stylus closer to the chosen letter location). But be warned - we start with no letter hints and limit it to 3 per puzzle title (selected from the menu) just to keep you focused.



Sudoku
Despite its newer arrival to the scene, no puzzle collection designed to stimulate brain activity would be complete without Sudoku. This game's popularity has soared, and for good reason - the simple rules can be quite challenging in its solving. In our colorful implementation we mark the digits as you go, but while the digits may work with the current puzzle entries it may not be correct as far as the solution is sought - a delightful challenge. As above, we implemented our own number selction in order to keep the stylus close to the grid selection at hand.
