    I like the simple and clean visual style, the tranquil music is great and helps you focus on solving the puzzles, and the concept is basic but still challenging. I just wish that the game still kept the colors at the bottom because I feel it’s easier to switch between the colors this way — perhaps it should be considered as an option. Another thing I found weird was the loading times between stages — it seems a bit long for what it is, and I hope that the developer optimizes these loading times in the future. And finally, I would like to see are more levels added eventually, as it would increase the longevity of the game. Other than that, I think Polycolor is a pretty solid release so far.

    Euclidean Lands is a solid release and one of the best puzzle games released so far this year, in my opinion.

    Like other Spry Fox games, Bushido Bear looks amazing and has relaxing tunes, and the gameplay is just downright fun.

    This target shooting game is very entertaining. If you want to play alone, you'll be able to refine your aiming abilities in the practice room, but for the real fun, find someone to play against in Game Center.

    If you love a good brain teaser-like puzzle game, then Flipominos is a match made in heaven.

    Captain Cowboy is a good time waster, and the best part is the fact that there are no in-app purchases or annoying tutorials,, so it’s just you and the game.

    If you’re a fan of eerie black-and-white platformer worlds that make you think, then you will probably enjoy Albert & Otto as well.

    Still, I recommend giving Venture Kid a try if you’re looking for a classic, Mega Man-like platformer to check out over the weekend.

    A refreshing take on the zombie game that while simple, and perhaps without longevity, is full of immersive atmosphere.

    Bounty Racer is reasonably priced at only $1.99 and is a good fit for casual gamers.

    The game is not only gorgeous to look at, but the sound effects are nice to listen to as well. Plus, since there is no music in the background, the player still has the option to listen to their own music while playing, which is always a great thing. The controls are super intuitive and responsive, and the gameplay mechanic is interesting and brings a challenging new twist to your usual puzzle fare.

    If arduous platformers are your thing, then you will want to check out Project: Mayhem. It's only $0.99, so the price is right.

    While the game is fun, it does take a lot of carefully coordinated movement. Failure to do so can result in a poor experience.

    I recommend giving Tilt: Quill’s Quandary a try if you love physics-based puzzle games and don’t mind tilting your device around like crazy to play.

    It has cute graphics and animation, and is definitely hard to put down. It is reasonably priced and, although there is a glitch in the control mechanism, it is a good buy.

    I love the visual style and music, but the controls are poorly executed and the scoring mechanics are unclear.

    I highly recommend checking out To-Fu Fury if you’re a fan of the other To-Fu games or just like a challenging puzzle-platformer. This is also a fantastic title for kids as well, making it an excellent choice of a family friendly title.

    I know that infinite runner style games have gotten a bit tiresome over the years, but I feel like Pengy brings in a unique gameplay concept that makes it a bit more challenging than the typical infinite runner, since you only have a limited supply of ice to get you as far as possible. It requires a bit of practice to get good at this game because of the resource management, but it’s still fun and a great gem to play for quick game sessions. Plus, the delightful cartoon-style graphics are fun to look at as you play, the sounds are soothing, and the controls are perfectly optimized for touch screen devices. Pengy Has a Dream is a great addition to anyone’s mobile game collection.

    If you grew up on Tetris and still love the gameplay, but want something that’s new and refreshing, then Eklips is certainly worth taking a look at, especially if you’re a puzzle game fan.

    Definitely a cool game wrapped in a challenging package.

    The visuals are okay, and the sound is great. The on-rails experience means you aren't going to get lost or confused, and always know where to go or what to do next. I like the mini-games for casting spells, making potions, and dueling since they have intuitive controls. Tough choices are going to be made, and I like that it affects the dynamic storyline. I just wish that the timers and energy system weren't the way they are, and that customization options were a bit cheaper.

    Despite the flawed control scheme on the mobile port, Thumper: Pocket Edition is a good way to introduce the game to those who haven't tried it before. The psychedelic visuals are rather mesmerizing, the music is soothing, and the challenge is there. It may not be the best game for those who get frustrated easily, but the sense of overcoming a level you've been stuck on is pleasing.

    If you’re searching for a relaxing but stimulating puzzle game, then Neo Angle is a good option to consider. I’m enjoying it myself as a big puzzle fan. The retro graphics are fun to look at, and the music is delightful. The tutorial explains all of the basics to you, though it’s still pretty straightforward even without it. I do hope that the controls get a bit of refinement and an undo button is added in the future. Still, Neo Angle is a nice game for those who enjoy logic problems.

    Overall, this game is a lot of fun for fans of zombie themed first-person shooter games. Unfortunately, it is so difficult that you get frustrated and wish for a med pack to help you survive, which you can only really get by paying real cash for.

    I still recommend giving Cut the Rope: Magic a try, but beware of the underhanded tactics that the developers have gone through to try and get even more money from you. If you’re forced to use a hint, just force quit and restart — that’s what I did.

    The gameplay is unexciting, the interface is poorly designed, and the content is downright boring. Though this is a free game, your time would be better spent finding something else to play.

    If you aren't worried about the possibility of a major crash while playing this game, I recommend it for fans of endless runners.

    Fantasy Mage is not a terrible game, but it certainly did not live up to my expectations. However, it’s a decent time-waster and a lighthearted game that could be good for casual players.

    I recommend Pan-Pan only if you enjoy open-world puzzle adventure games and have no problem figuring out what you’re supposed to do without a guide.

    This game is fun, but it is a little too complicated.
