Quirky App Of The Day: Doodle Logics

I like mind games. Not the kind that teenage girls play on each other. Those are mind nuclear wars. I mean the kind of games that are riddles and puzzles to think through. I have little better to do with my time than to just sit and think, so this type of app is in keeping with my lifestyle. Doodle Logics is an app that provides two scenarios for you to think your way through. Hopefully, they develop more in the near future.
The first teaser is about a cabbage, a sheep and a wolf. This sounds like a horrible joke you tell when everyone is good and drunk. The point is to get all three across the river without anything getting eaten. Obviously, you want to prevent the wolf from becoming vegetarian and eating the cabbage and the cabbage from making a grisly scene by eating the sheep. I kid. The wolf eats the sheep and the sheep eats the cabbage. They only eat as soon as the man in the boat leaves. The rest of it is up to you.
The second game is a lot more interesting in premise.
You have to move the cannibals and the missionaries to the opposite side of the river. It must be "Take Your Party Across The River" day or something. The missionaries have quite the motivation to stick together though. Anytime there are more cannibals than missionaries, the cannibals make a buffet out of them. I personally have nothing against missionaries. They're pretty cool people for what they do. So, I try to be responsible and make sure that they aren't turned into a sacred snack.
There are only these two mind teasers, but the app is free. So, there's no harm in trying it for the few minutes of enjoyment it will provide. I would love to see more of these teasers though. I loved the art. I'm a known sucker for doodled things. I'll be happy to keep this game for the future updates and new games.
Doodle Logics is available on the App Store for the awesome price of FREE!
