Slice It!

Slice It is a delightful puzzle game for the iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad. Each puzzle presents a simple shape (perhaps a square or triangle) and asks you to slice it into a specific number of equal size pieces with a specific number of "cuts". While the openinig puzzles are easy, they can be very demanding and really challenge your insight into the relative areas of different shapes.

The interface is friendly with a "hand drawn on graph paper" look. The game works well for the touch screen: you position your finger for the start and pull straight lines over the shape. If you don't do well, you will get a report that tells you what the problem is. If you do manage to solve the puzzle you earn a "hint" point that you can spend on harder puzzles.

I downloaded the free (limited) version... the full 60 level version does not cost a lot. It is a fresh angle (I don't think I have really seen a game based on comparing areas before) and would especially suit those who love their geometry!

The game is only available from the Apple App store, but you can read about it here.
