This is quite an interesting idea since I see this as a real use for the
touch screen.
I am a fan of graphical sokoban puzzles, and have been playing them for
several years when i want a real brain resting break, however I've neer
really seen how they could be made accessible without some sort of very
extensive overview function, sinse you are essentially talking about a
spacial overview puzzle, where it's necessary to get a ful idea of where
your character, the walls, the items which need to be moved and the spaces
you must move them on to are before you do anything.
Even with row and column overview functions the way chess games on the
computer have, I've never really been convinced of how possible such games
would be just using audio.
With a touch screen however, this might change since you could gather direct
spacial information about where each item is by moving your finger around
the screen (assuming the developer has an overview mode). This is
particularly the case if the puzzles the developer has created are only 5x5
or 6x6 in size (the ones I have been playing are much larger, about 20 x
30).
I'll be interested to see what people think and might well try this one
myself if there is a free version.
Beware the Grue!
