In some respects, logic puzzles are the purest form of competition. It’s nothing but your own wit against that of the puzzle’s creator.

I grew up on puzzles like these. When I was in middle school, my Mom bought entire books full of them from those Scholastic Book Order forms they would send home with every student. I read every mystery novel I could get my hands on. I think I worked my way through pretty much every Boxcar Children and Hardy Boys book that the local library owned.

So now it’s my turn to create some puzzles and mysteries of my own for other people to solve. Log(ic) is a series of logic puzzles with a unique Android twist.

The app is still in an early beta stage, so it comes with a few caveats:

This is not a flashy, physics based, Angry Birds type game. It won’t wow you with amazing graphics or a nifty soundtrack. It’s a bare bones puzzle. So if you like riddles, cryptography, and thinking outside the box, this is the game for you. If not, you probably won’t like it.
I’m just a college kid with one phone, developing for fun in my spare time. The app works just fine on my Droid X, but I don’t have the resources to test every Android phone out there. If you find a bug, leave me an angry comment demanding that I fix it, and I’ll scramble to get it patched up.
I wrote the puzzles, so they all seem straightforward and easy to me. It’s hard for me to get a good perspective on how difficult they are. If you play the game and decide that one of the levels is so difficult that even a fleet of ships filled with Nobel laureates couldn’t solve it, let me know and I’ll try to tone it down. On the flip side, if the game is so easy for you that it’s not even interesting, I’ll try to crank it up a notch for future releases.

Without further ado you can download the game here. Happy Puzzling!
