Kindle Game for a Dollar: Flip It!



Flip It! is a game that starts out simple and gets more challenging as you play. Exercise your mind and enjoy solving various patterns and puzzles.

In Flip It! you are shown a grid of tiles that are either black or white. Clicking on a black tile will 'flip' the tile to white; clicking on a white square will 'flip' the tile to black. Change all of the tiles white and you've passed that level. It may seem simple, but there's a twist: when clicking on a tile to 'flip' its color, all tiles touching the selected tile's four sides will also flip their colors. Add to that a growing number of squares and patterns per level, and you've got yourself a sophisticated brainteaser.

Kindle Game for a Dollar: Next

Next is a simple puzzle game for your Kindle....or is it?



The objective of the game is to clear all the pieces off the game board. Game pieces disappear when they are matched with, and touch, other game pieces with the same symbol. Your job is to move the game pieces around the game board to make this happen. Clearing the board allows you to move the next level.

The challenge is that if you don't plan ahead, you might not be able get the pieces to the right location because they are blocked by other game pieces. Because sometimes there are an odd number of a certain types of game pieces, if you match them too soon, you risk leaving stray game pieces behind and then you won't be able to finish the level.

NEXT includes 128 levels of varying difficulty and is easy to learn, but hard to master.

Kindle Game for a Dollar: Mahjong Solitaire


I am kind of a Mahjoong addict; that is, the kind you play on the computer, not the real kind with the lovely tiles and playing with four people. I remember many hours playing this game and aiming for that all-important poof of fireworks at the end, how about you?

Mahjong Solitaire is a game where you match pairs of identical tiles in order to remove them from the board. Only free tiles can be matched. Tiles are considered free if they do not have other tiles to either the left or right of them, or on top of them. The objective of the game is to clear all the tiles from the board. The game ends when all tiles have been removed or when there are no more free tiles left to match.

This game is available for .99 for a very limited time, so grab it now! Download Mahjong Solitaire for .99.

Kindle Game for a Dollar: ReversiLight


Reversi Light looks to be a fun little game; the basic premise here is to convert the opponent's pieces to your color by trapping them between two of your pieces. But while the rules are easy, they can lead to a great many combinations and strategic decisions. The situation on the game board can change drastically at every turn, so you will need to keep your strategic goals in focus while the tactical situation remains fluid. At the end of the game, the player with the majority of the pieces their color wins.

Kindle Game for a Dollar: Strimko


When I first read the title of this game I thought it said "Stinko", which was definitely intriguing.

The object of the game is to place a set of numbers in rows or columns without repeating them in any row or column. Strimko adds a concept of "streams" that crisscross throughout the puzzle. With streams, you must consider not only the rows and columns, but also the streams, and make sure that each contains different numbers.

You can choose from four different difficulty levels. Each difficulty level increases the size of the grid you play on: "Easy" has a 4x4 grid, while the "Master" level challenges you with a 7x7 grid. Each of the four difficulty levels has 30 different puzzles, allowing for a total of 120 different puzzles to play. A hint function can also let you keep playing if you get stuck.
