Point of View is a mind-bending puzzle game for Mac OS X. It is a game of perspectives: given three views of a figure you must construct that figure using as few blocks as possible. POV is also a puzzler in the truest sense. It relies on planning and strategy rather than lightning quick reflexes.

It appears to suffer from some graphical glitches in OS X 10.7 Lion. Most of the buttons and info text are garbled.

Better than a 3D Sudoku.
My deepest appreciation to the author for making this little gem.

It's very simple to play, yet it can be quite challenging in an enjoyable way, (if you don't mind a little thinking).
It's an original concept in the puzzle genre, which is suffering from "match-three" overdose.
If you enjoy mind-bending puzzles, check this one out. IT'S FREE!
To the developer Holmes Futrell: Thanks for supporting the Mac community with this excellent free game. I hope you have some time in the future to make another set of puzzles for this great game.

One request: More puzzles! I've played for about an hour each day for the last three days and I only have two puzzles left to beat. More, more I say! How about even larger grids? 6x6?
I guess the number of puzzles is a feature, so you only get 4 stars for that. Everything else is 5 star work.

Hope the developer reads the reviews and decides to do some more testing, tweaking, etc.

As to the game itself, I was initially going to complain that it was unsolvable. However, after looking at the screenshot provided here, I caught on to how it was possible to solve these puzzles.
I find the game addictive, maddening, and highly rewarding once you find the right configuration. It's a great game for anyone considering studying engineering or drafting, because it gives you a good idea of 3-D spatial analysis.
The only reason I don't give this a five rating is due to its being a first incarnation and everything can be improved upon.
Good job Holmes! And thanks for making it free!

BTW: works fine in my machine (MacBook Pro, 2.2GHz Inter Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, GeForce 8600M GT, Mac OS X 10.4.11), but only as long as "Multi-sampling" is turned OFF ("Shadows" can be set to anything) - otherwise images (mostly buttons) are corrupted. Processor usage never goes higher than 20%.
