My first iPhone / iPod Touch game Hanoi has finally made it onto the iTunes Store. Here’s hoping plenty of people enjoy it! Watch a video review here.

Great App - how about adding a tracker for the number of moves, and an estimated number to aim for.

Hey Ian,

I was a huge fan of Hanoi. Recommended it to many of my co-workers who all fell in love with it. Been playing that game for a week now, just working on beating it faster and faster.
I’ve been hoping for a more full-featured paid version with more levels. Well, as soon as I saw a + version I bought it right away… and I must say, am very disappointed. I’ve decided to post here instead of in the itunes reviews… don’t want to bring its score down, but do want to give you a quick opinion.
I don’t know how it’s possible, but your new version is inferior to your free game. The game backgrounds are all blurry and low-res, expected better for a + version!

The Hanoi Stones were better when they were… well, stone!
The wooden ones are not as satisfying,
The old Hanoi had a high-res stone table, now again you have this crummy-looking wood table. Not the same!

Yes it’s the same gameplay, but your new + Hanoi is not as relaxing to play, the new environments are not good.

You should really consider updating the game in the areas I mentioned. Hope you understand, this was constructive criticism!

I got Hanoi on my G3 apple iphone and was delighted with it then an application update came up which I duly installed. Now it won’t open any ideas please. Its the freebie version so not complaining just want to get it working again thnx

Malc, this seems to be a bug in the iPhone’s update / installation process. I would recommend trying to delete the app then re-install. Hope that works for you.
