Dingbats review

Looking for a fun game that also challenges your mind? Try Starberry’s iPhone app, Dingbats. With no relation to the font, this game app actually is a collection of puzzles that involve words and pictures. You are presented with a screen of twelve cards: tap one to flip it over and reveal the words or pictures. Using what’s displayed, you have to figure out a common phrase…clues as to what the phrase is are in the size, position, or direction of whatever is on the card; even better, it’s timed. This means the faster you can figure out the phrase (and the faster you type), the more points you’ll get (go through the tutorial for a sample of what to expect). When you solve the twelve cards, you get to move on to the next level. You have chances to pass or skip a card, but you need a certain amount of points in order to do so.

Dingbats is perfect for those who love logic puzzles or are wordsmiths. The app is very well-designed with smooth physics and nicely contrasting colors. The only real downside is that you can’t access hints on the app; you have to either have them emailed to you or go to the website. Other than that, this app is well worth the price tag, so go give your brain a workout.
