Getting tired of Sudoku? Why not try Marple?

Marple is a game of logic and deduction. The playing field consists of 20 tiles arranged in 4 rows of 5 columns each and a set of clues. The goal of the game is to figure out the correct order of those 20 tiles using the given clues by process of elimination.

There are four different types of clues: "In between", "Left of", "Same column" and "Next to". "In between" clue tells that the middle tile has to be located in between the other two. It however does not tell the order of the other two tiles or how far they are from the middle one. "Left of" clue tells that the left tile has to be located left of the right tile. It however does not tell how far apart they are. "Same column" clue tells that the two tiles have to be on the same column. "Next to" clue tells that the two tiles are adjacent to each other. It however does not tell the order of the two tiles.

Note! The best way to learn Marple is to study the tutorial at the application support site while playing the game.

What's New

Oops! Sorry about the version number. It really IS 2.1, not 2.0.1 as it might say..

- Missing your old statistics? Now there is a way of importing your statistics from an earlier version if you declined OpenFeint upon first launch. See the Troubleshooting section in the application help for instructions.
- Now you can play Marple properly without registering with OpenFeint. If you haven't registered, statistics will still work and you can enter your hiscore name manually.
- Added challenge mode. In challenge mode you cannot select the puzzle, cannot restart the puzzle and cannot see the current puzzle number. Only hiscores obtained in challenge mode will be sent to OpenFeint. Note that the old online hiscores (full of cheaters) are now replaced by the challenge mode hiscores.
- Increased the hint and warning penalty.
- Added "Start in game view" setting. Enable it to start Marple immediately in game view.
- New achievement
- Fixed blurry text in dialogs.
- Hiscores pages tuning
- Small fixes
