Boxed In is a fun little game by Dennis Mengelt.  The point of this game is to move wooden boxes and around the board and collect the gears inorder to find a clear path to the exit.  While moving about the board, you can only push objects, no pulling.  And you can only move it if there is a blank space behind it, so no pushing two blocks at a time.

While some of the levels were extremely easy, there is definitely expert levels in this app as well.  You have one option to move back one space too in case you accidentally make a move you didn’t intend to, or puts you in a bind.  This app makes is simple to move about as well with simple directional finger movements anywhere on the screen, so you don’t have to place you finger exactly on the little robot guy.

The only recommendations I have for this app in the future is to have some sort of high score tally or a way to keep track of progress outside of level completion.  Hopefully there will be more levels added soon too.  It took me a while to get through the 50 they have but now that I’ve completed them, there’s no where to go.  Another added feature would be a back to home screen button somewhere in the game.  Once on a level, there is no way to get back in case you forgot the instructions without restarting the app.  Overall an extremely addictive and fun game though, just needs some minor updates that other games already have.

I’m not convinced that it can make you better at your job, but “Button” by Blank Software is a nice little distraction.

The premise is dead simple — a big button shows up on your screen.  When it lights up, click it.  That’s it.  It almost sounds too dumb to be true.

The catch is that other people using the app get the same lit-up buttons at the exact same time, and you compete against them for points and prizes.  Dunno if it’ll really catch on, but it’s worth a shot considering it’s free.  You can get it in the App Store here.

This game is as simple as it gets.  Simply slide blocks up, down, left and right to reveal a path for the highlighted red block to make it through the hole and off the screen.  This free version has two modes, Relax and Challenge.  The only difference between the two modes are whether or not it records how many moves it took you to finish the level.  A good addition to this would be to have a timed mode.  This app originally started out with 400 levels but later added 200 more as a thank you and sorry for having bugs in an update.  I must say, with this many levels I thought there would be more alike and feel like im playing the same level over and over again but this is not the case.  Each level is a challenge.  One tip for the harder levels is to move the blocks into a position which makes it harder, only to have the ability to move other blocks out of the way for the win.  Overall a good free app that last longer than 15 minutes like most other free versions.
