Long gone are the days when we had to rely on crosswords or word searches out of books or papers to entertain or pass the time as mobile applications offer numerous ways to keep us occupied. The iPhone Beetle Puzzle game is promised to stretch your mind with a number of challenges.

The Beetle Puzzle app for iOS devices has recently been released to the App Store and begins with some simple puzzle pieces before challenging you more as you keep solving the puzzles. Each puzzle piece has some beetles that are placed on a board, but there are some empty spots.

You then try to remove a Beetle by passing another one over it and into an empty slot, and you continue until there are no more moves to play which means you have won. The game is simple but challenging and there are 33 puzzle pieces to try and solve.

To win a game you will need to finish with one, two, or three Beetles left on the board and while many of them look easy to complete they are far from it. The game features great graphics and sounds to enhance the experience that users enjoy, and is suitable for all ages to enjoy.

The game also features leaderboards and achievements to compare with other players around the world, and Beetle Puzzle 1.0 is available on the App Store £0.69/$0.99 for owners of the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch running iOS 5.0 or later.
