    It depends. Anything 2.99 and above, I would be looking for a lite version or a gameplay video before I press the buy button. :) If I see something I know I will like (Crystal Caves classic was an insta-buy) and it packs a reasonable amount of content, I am willing to pay higher. (I don't know about other people, so I'm just speaking for myself). I agree with ArtNJ's observation though.

    To add:

    [app]Wumbo[/app]
    ([app]WumboLite[/app])

    Looks to be a nice dungeons-and-treasures type puzzler.

    1. [app]Dots[/app] by Cobra Mobile

    Far from being a connect-the-dots game as the name seems to suggest, this is an apparently good puzzle adventure.

    2. [app]Hedgehogs[/app]

    Another one of those maze puzzles.

    I believe I mentioned this game in my first post, but it seemed to have been missed and it's not in the list. This excellent game seems to get passed over a lot. It's not the most attractive looking in the appstore, but it certainly packs a good load of challenge and content.

    It's a pathfinding puzzle adventure. Lots of different obstacles and objects to interact with - rolling boulders, traps, finding keys to open gates, avoiding enemies (there a few kinds of enemies), etc. The goal is collect all the diamonds on the level and then move to the exit.

    Help the small red bug Kribl on its way through a deadly swamp. An endless rain of spiky fruits and Kribl's lack of swimming and flying abilities force you to move by tilting chest-like labyrinths left by mysterious former inhabitants.
    The rotation of the chests leads to a clever 2d-physics-based game, combining elements of puzzle and platformer games.

    With its cute'n'weird graphics style, Ynth might look harmless initially, but solving all puzzles requires serious amounts of both thinking and dexterity. Find the right path through 79 challenging levels in this unique game.

    Compete with the best Ynth players online! Ynth features OpenFeint to provide online highscores and achievements as well as integration with Facebook and Twitter.

    Try the free Ynth Lite version to experience the first levels of Ynth.

    - OpenFeint online highscores and achievements
    - Custom-built for iPhone, super-smooth physics-based gameplay.
    - Every level completion unlocks two new challenges, therefore it is possible to skip single levels that seem hard.
    - Easy and intuitive controls.
    - Beautiful handdrawn artwork.
    - More than seventy levels.
    - Handmade music and sounds.
    - Keep listening to iPod tracks while playing the game.

    Reviews:

    "Getting us convinced you have a puzzle game better than the rest is a task. Ynth finally gets everything right with the latest update, and we can safely say this game is one of the best puzzles in the store." - The APPera

    "Ynth is easily one of the most pleasant surprises I’ve found in the app store. A great mix of Puzzle and Platform (maybe we’ll call it Puzzleform) with a very polished and professional presentation." - Appversity.com

    "This is a must buy for anyone who loves a good challenge every now and then. The graphics are outstanding for this type of game, and suit this game perfectly. The music is fine and very well presented. The controls make this game a shoo in for arguably the best puzzle platformer in the appstore." - App Tappers

    Would Zen Bound be considered a puzzle game according to the OP definition? While it doesn't work in discrete steps like most games here, each level is a spatial puzzle with no time limits.

    Clean the seas in BioSub, a tilt physics puzzle game with a lush aquatic theme.

    Steer the Bio Sub by tilting your device, or with optional touch controls. Neutralize canisters by bumping like against like, but be careful with chemical reactions - they can both help and hinder. Work quickly or the canisters will blow, and your subs shields aren't invulnerable...

    As you descend, you'll puzzle your way past linked canisters and reefs. Choose your strategy carefully to clear the area while avoiding the obstacles, but plot your path quickly to succeed - taking the wrong route could get you sunk!


    FEATURES

    • Descend through 70 fiendishly challenging timed levels!
    • Smooth, realistic physics govern game play
    • Gorgeously rendered underwater graphics
    • Intuitive tilt controls, with an alternate touch anywhere control option
    • Achievements and online high scores using OpenFeint!
    • Ipod Music Library access (for OS3.0+ users only)

    "The 70 diabolically challenging levels offer heaps of game play. This is an all around polished game sure to please even those who did not get an "A" in physics."

    A gorgeous tilt or touch physics puzzle with 70 timed levels. It's flown under the radar a bit since release, but today it hit New and Noteworthy so it's shameless plug time :)

    Yup, added! :D

    I'm going to leave it out because at first glance, it appears there aren't separate levels (and it's more Match-3 than logic/puzzle).

    Heh, okay. Added. :)
