Swap Me Game

Absolutely loved this game although it can get really frustrating when you get stuck on one of the levels, but it certainly gets you thinking.

There are 60 levels of the game to complete, with the final level turning into a space rocket once you have all the cubes in order.

This is a free application with each level telling you how many cubes need to be moved to allow you to clear the board.  Some levels may take only one move, others can take up to five moves.

The only downside to this game is that you do need a network connection to be able to play but apart from that it certainly has you scratching your head trying to logically work out the moves.

The Swap Me Game free version application is available for download to Nokia devices from the Ovi store.
