Trace
One of the best free iPhone games is Trace, a game where you sketch your own path through 120 levels.  The levels have different layouts and moving obstacles.  The farther along you get, the more challenging the layout.  The object of the game is to create a path by drawing lines with your finger through the obstacles from the start of the “maze” to the sun-shaped finish circle.  A tiny red figurine follows the path you create and if it makes it “alive” you pass the level and move on to the next.  If that sounds easy to you, don’t be fooled.  It takes a helluva lot of work and strategizing to pass the levels.  Play the game and get hooked, seriously.  There’s something special about this game.  You must play it to find out what I mean.
