The less-than-coordinated of us know that navigating spaces can at times be harder than it looks. As often as we may stumble, Furmins (http://www.joystiq.com/game/furmins) have it one step harder - they're just limbless balls of fur waiting on an omniscient power to guide them to their destinations. Their puzzle-oriented plight is lining up a pathway from iOS devices to Vitas on December 17.
Compared to Resogun (http://joystiq.com/game/resogun), Furmins is a less explosive effort from developer Housemarque that makes a puzzle out of the journey from Point A to Point B. Players construct potential solutions for any given level in Furmins' Setup mode, which pauses the environment to allow for a path to be constructed out of objects. Once a solution is ready, switching to the Action mode lets the scenario play out, resulting in glory or a return to the phase of blueprints. If you're feeling particularly crafty, you can build with the bits of candy strewn across levels in mind.

The iOS version (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/03/housemarques-furmins-now-has-free-version/), Furmins HD (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/furmins-hd/id473642594), is currently $2.99 on the App Store, but you can try the first world of Furmins Free (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/furmins-free/id522054023?mt=8) at no charge.
