"Can you take on the laws of physics to complete all 30 levels of Touch Physics? Draw shapes with crayons that come to life on your screen. When the wheel reaches the target you proceed to the next level. You move the wheel by creating shapes that interact with the wheel. Touch physics models real physics. Play your own music, change the laws of physics, resume where you last left off and shake to reset. Addictive, fun and fury all in one package."

A while back, there was a game called Crayon Physics that hit big with the geek set.  Someone hacked up a version for the iPhone back when there were no official Applications or an App Store.  Now we finally have a legit version of a Crayon Physics-like game that's a heck of a lot of fun to play.  The idea is simple: coax the wheel onto the star.  In the above example, you could do that by drawing a circle that would fall on the wheel and launch it down the ramp into the star.  Everything observes the rules of physics, making the game much more of a puzzler than it appears.  If you haven't tried this one yet, you're seriously missing out.  Touch Physics is available today from the App Store for the special introductory price of $0.99 USD.

You are a bad, bad man Vincent. I can already feel another dollar burning a hole in my pocket begging to be spent at the App Store.

The video on the developer's website gives you a good feel for the game. Looks super cool!

On a related note, it's amazing what you can get for a buck at the App Store. It's like the dollar menu at McDonald's only way better and not nearly as bad for you. (There's also a lot of chaff in the App Store that's not worth even $1, but there are some neat gems out there for $1- this looks to be one of them.)

Yeah, it's also amazing how much cash you can burn without even realizing it. All those $0.99 charges wind up being a death of 1,000 cuts. Not that I'd know firsthand, of course...

I'd say there was more garbage than greatness in the App Store, but the good stuff is so insanely good that it makes it worth it.

I agree with both sentiments. Touch Physics is another one of the good ones; even the wife got hooked on the game play when I showed it to her. The graphics, game play, are music are all very well done for $1.
