"For the price, it's an excellent value, giving puzzle fans over 70 levels at various stages of difficulty. While there isn't much control other than with the stylus -- you can actually zoom using the GamePad's trigger buttons, but not really anything else -- you honestly don't need it, as rotating the levels and placing the signs is all handled beautifully with the touch screen. Still, you'll spend all your gameplay hunched over your GamePad trying to place things. At least other people in the room can see what you're doing on the TV, but it's not much of a spectator sport. At least, not until you click the bottom to have the cubes start to rush home."

About

Rush Hour is a sliding block puzzle that turns traffic gridlock into brain-teasing fun. You control a grid of cars and trucks blocking the red car’s exit. Slide vehicles forward or backward to clear a path, with each level demanding careful planning. The app tracks your moves against an optimal solution, letting you chase personal bests or perfect scores. Four difficulty settings offer 2500 total puzzles, scaling from simple shifts to complex roadblocks. A tutorial eases you in, while hints and a solve button keep frustration in check without spoiling the challenge. The game’s clean design and tactile controls make it a mobile puzzle staple. It won a 2010 Parents’ Choice Gold Award and a 2011 Editor’s Choice honor, praised for balancing simplicity and depth. Players appreciate the replay value, each puzzle feels distinct despite the grid’s small size. With progress saving and a history tracker for solved challenges, it’s easy to dip in and out. The app’s focus on efficiency over flash ensures it feels just as fresh today as when it launched in 2009.
