Squirmee and the Puzzling Tree-0.99 (Lavafish Studios)

This game starts off with the generic cliche of your loved one being taken away and your mission to save them.  In this case your sister somehow manages to sleep long enough that a tree grows where she was sleeping.  Your goal is to save her by traveling up the tree via different platforms. 
You control Squirmee by using of course, the touch screen.  You are situated on a moving platform that can be stopped along with all the in-game objects when you press the screen.  While you are stopped you can drag your finger down to make time reverse which makes the objects go in reverse too.  This method of controling your character may seem a little weird but when you start playing it you will catch on quickly. There are various on-screen objects that will harm you like saws and poisonous bubbles and you will have to use your ability to escape from safely.  Some levels don't allow you to reverse the objects on screen except for Squirmees platform.  When it all comes together a few levels into the game it gets fairly difficult to get all three stars on a level.  The number of stars you get depends only on the time it takes you to get to the goal. 
There is a substantial amount of content in this game if your a pro puzzler or easily confused with a total of 75 levels. Their is a GameCenter leaderboard for every level pack so you can compare times with your friends(if you have any). There are also 10 deviosly hard achievments included that will keep you busy end game. 
Overall this is a cute puzzler game better suited for the puzzle inclined due to increasingly hard levels and difficult scenarios.  If your into mind-bending levels and puzzles in general this game is exactly what your looking for.  I give it a 9/10 because of its innovative gameplay and controls.
