Rubik Puzzle was developed to let you play with a Rubiks Cube on a computer. A big advantage over the real thing is that if you make a mistake, you can restore the cube to the solved state with a click without having to take the cube apart and rebuild it!
When youll launch Rubik Puzzle youll see a display of all sides of a Rubiks Cube. The Front is in the center, the other sides are as marked; the Back side in the upper left is viewed from the inside of the cube. An isometric view of the cube is shown at the windows top right, showing the Top, Left and Front sides.
Clicking the small buttons surrounding the Front and Top sides lets you move the rows and columns. For example, clicking on the #12 button spins the top layer clockwise (CW) by 90 degrees. Clicking on the #4 button spins the top layer counterclockwise (CCW), and so forth. Buttons #19 through #24 let you rotate the cube.

Puzzle Island - the place where you need your wits to survive. Can you discover the mystery of Puzzle Island and escape your exile?

Puzzle Island is a game of twelve different puzzles that range from simple tile matching puzzles to mind bending logic puzzles. With four difficulty settings, an adventure that is a puzzle within a puzzle and the ability to play the individual puzzles anytime (once unlocked), this game will keep you busy for months, if not years to come. Why buy one puzzle game when you can have twelve in one!

Puzzle Island is a universal Mac OS X shareware game that has five tile matching puzzles, five logic puzzles and two path finding/creating puzzles. Some of the puzzles included are puzzles based on Sudoku (with no numbers!), Nonograms, Mind Bender, Black Box and a new take on Minesweeper.

There are four difficulty settings: involved, puzzling, perplexing and enigmatic. And, all of the puzzles are randomly created so that there is always a new game waiting for you!

Puzzle Island includes an adventure game in which the twelve puzzles come together to create a story. In the adventure, you have been shipwrecked and marooned on a strange tropical island. The question is: Can you survive? Solving the steps (and the order of the steps) to getting off of the island is yet another puzzle.

In addition to the adventure game, you can also play each of the twelve puzzles individually.

Most of the puzzles have unlimited levels when played individually. Youll need to play through the adventure game to unlock access to all the puzzles.
In individual puzzle mode, high scores are tracked with the top 16 scores saved for each puzzle and each difficulty setting.

The scores are across all user accounts on your computer. Each user account on your computer can also have up to five player profiles in the game.

Puzzle Island can be played full screen or in windowed mode and plays nice with other applications.

So, go ahead and leave your email program running while playing; turn off the in-game music, and launch iTunes to play your own mood music. You could also leave your work or school work applications open for quick switching when the boss or a parent comes by. (But, you didnt hear that from us. We also didnt tell you that the "Hide when in background" setting would help facilitate your ruse.)

If you thought that you could never reach enlightenment by playing a computer game ... well ... youre probably right. You can, however, come close by relaxing with Zen Puzzle Garden!
Design and play your own gardens with the built-in garden designer!
Zen Puzzle Garden puts you in control of a monk who is trying to rake his sand garden, covering all of the sand once. The puzzle is completed when all of the sand has been raked, and the monk has stepped out of the garden.
The monk can not walk over sand he has already raked, so be careful not to rake yourself into a corner! There is no time limit, and you can restart the puzzle or undo a move whenever you want, so dont be afraid to experiment with different raking patterns.
Version restrictions:
- The demo version of Zen Puzzle Garden has 5 gardens and lets you try out the garden designer. Buy the full version of Zen Puzzle Garden to get all 64 gardens including 16 fiendishly tricky winter gardens. The full version also has a garden designer which lets you create and play your own gardens and share them with others.
