Swarmster:
Thanks for picking up both games! Interesting idea with the pinch. I'll look into it. : )

David:
The game can be difficult when you first begin, but I've found that I've gotten much better at the puzzles over time. I hope you have lots of fun with it!

mrkgoo:
Good luck finishing TanZen! More puzzles are coming for it soon!

Touch Arcade has convinced me to spend about 100x the amount of money I would have spent on iPod games otherwise, and I'm glad it did. A friend had showed me TanZen a while ago, but after reading about White Bear's support for the platform and seeing the games again, I just picked up both.

The only thing I would mention, and it goes along with what David above me says, I think it might be more natural if you could pinch pieces to flip them. I'd still allow the double-tap, to retain one-finger operation, but it would be interesting to see if the pinch would positively impact game flow.

I have this game, and it's quite difficult, at least for me. The interface is very nice and polished, although there really should be a faster way to rotate pieces.

Oh, it's pentominoes!

I love this. I will get this eventually (still working through tanZen)

Not really my type of game but I almost want to buy it just the developer updates his first app so much lol. I've never seen a developer give back to his customers so much

Looks great! It reminds me of a similar puzzler for the Palm that used the seven tetrominos from Tetris. The difference was, each level had a limited number of moves.

I'm loving this game! It's quickly becoming my favourite puzzle 

Much more challenging, fun, and rewarding than other puzzles I've found.

Little White Bear Studios is two for two in my book.

Great quality, great value, and great customer interaction.
