When I first tried my luck at the one-of-a-kind puzzle game ‘Nintaii‘, I have to admit, I was hooked. The idea of the game is simple. Flip and tip your block through each level, with the goal of depositing your block in the hole at the end. Sounds simple right? Think again. There are all kinds of obstacles and switches to look out for, and the actual shape of each level is a huge hinderance; trying to find how to best navigate your block through tight spaces can be a real pain!
At any rate, cutting to the chase here, Concrete Software announced Nintaii 2 for the iPhone and iPod Touch over the weekend. 100 brand new levels are included for your frustration. While the new levels are sure to confuse and puzzle, perhaps the biggest feature upgrade in Nintaii 2 is the addition of OpenFeint community. Players can create free OpenFeint accounts to share info, tips, hints and view leaderboards… You can also earn achievements, and compete against your friends. It’s an awesome way to connect with other Nintaii players all over the globe.
Nintaii 2 is available now for $0.99. A free demo version is also available, if you’d prefer to give it a try before you buy. iTunes links are below!

Concrete Software Announces the Release of Nintaii 2 for iPhone and iPod Touch
March 4, 2010 – Concrete Software, Inc.®, a leader in innovative mobile content, announced today the release of Nintaii 2 for the iPhone and iPod Touch to be sold in the App Store. Nintaii 2, the follow-up to the hit game Nintaii, is a strategic puzzle game that includes 100 brand new levels with new features and obstacles for enjoyable and challenging game play.
The success and rave reviews for the original game Nintaii, are sure to make Nintaii 2 a hit game as well. The Japanese term “nintaii” means “patience, perseverance, or endurance.” Both games encourage players to use all three to complete the ever increasing difficulty and complexity of the 100 levels. Nintaii 2 keeps the unique concept of rolling a block through a maze of tiles and dropping it into the end destination to complete a level- but new twists were added including ghost tiles, glass tiles, and springs.
Another new addition to Nintaii 2 is OpenFeint, the social media component of gaming. Nintaii players can join the OpenFeint community to share information, tips, and hints with each other, give feedback to the developers, and view multiple leader boards. Players can earn points by completing achievements and winning challenges. This adds an element of competition, as friends can challenge one another, while still building a community for Nintaii players to interact.
Nintaii 2 invites a new experience for game players and raises the bar for expectations of a puzzle game. It is currently available for the iPhone and iPod Touch via the App Store along with a free demo version. For more information or to contact the developers please e-mail feedback@concretesoftware.com.
