70/100

Tower of Hanoi Pro is a clean, no-nonsense implementation of the classic mathematical puzzle. For those who enjoy testing their logical thinking and planning, this is a perfect digital version. The app focuses on the 'Pro' experience, meaning it cuts out the fluff and provides a smooth, responsive interface where you can easily drag and drop the disks. The inclusion of various disk counts (from 3 to 10) allows you to scale the difficulty from a quick warm-up to a 1,023-move marathon.

The game tracks your moves and time, encouraging you to reach the 'optimal' number of moves (calculated as 2^n - 1). While it's a simple concept, the execution is flawless. The graphics are sharp, and the background music is unobtrusive, allowing for deep concentration. It’s an essential app for puzzle purists and anyone looking to sharpen their spatial reasoning skills without the distraction of ads or power-ups.

The Tower of Hanoi is a mathematical game or puzzle.
It consists of three rods, and a number of disks of different sizes which can slide onto any rod.
The puzzle starts with the disks in a neat stack in ascending order of size on one rod, the smallest at the top, thus making a conical shape.
The objective of the puzzle is to move the entire stack to the red rod, obeying the following rules:
1. Only one disk may be moved at a time.
2. Each move consists of taking the upper disk from one of the rods and sliding it onto another rod, on top of the other disks that may already be present on that rod.
3. No disk may be placed on top of a smaller disk.
Requires iOS 14.4 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Tips

The Recursive Secret

To move a tower of 'n' disks, you must first move a tower of 'n-1' disks to the middle peg, then move the largest disk to the target peg, and finally move the 'n-1' tower on top of it. Repeat this pattern for success!
