Overall, I would highly recommend the game.  It is fun, challenging, polished and a great use of the Android platform.  With my predisposition for puzzle and phone games, I decided to test it’s universal appeal and ran it through my “wife test” (my wife is not a big fan of video or phone games) and it passed with flying colors; didn’t get my phone back for a couple of hours and even then only because I got a call.  The cons listed are annoyances, but are far out weighed by the enjoyment of the game.

The chart compares the number of new projects (apps) that are being developed for iPhone and Android. Since the beginning of the year, Android has more than double its share while iPhone has declined each month.
