Notes can be written out by hand and can include images from your library. Tasks can be categorized and searched.

7 Planets

Tomislav Puzak

Roll wooden balls around within a box in order to get them into their correct rows.

It’s for anyone who enjoys logic puzzle games.

FREE ($2.99) For a limited time FREE ($2.99) For a limited time
Why we picked this?

This is the type of game that will kick start your brain and get those juices flowing in the morning. All you have to do is swipe to roll the balls and try to get them into their appropriate positions. What makes this task so difficult, however, is that when one ball is moved, all of the balls in that row or column move with it until they are stopped by a wall. Try to restore order in as few moves and as quickly as possible to earn a high score. The game includes three single player modes, and an online multiplayer mode so you can compete against your friends.

If trying to think two steps ahead is your thing, this is your game. With 7 Planet, each move has a consequence. It’s up to you to ensure you don’t roll yourself into a corner.

This is a game for die hard logic puzzle fans. It can really get on your nerves if you try to speed through it.
