Kami

Kami is a familiar concept, requiring you to tap at squares of a patterned grid to make them one uniform colour. The paper texture of the squares and origami like folding animation as they change hue, make it a fun brainteaser.

The Room 2
At the other end of the spectrum to Kami, The Room 2 is both devilishly difficult and rendered in photo realistic graphics. Dark and mysterious, this point-and-click adventure is full of puzzles that will require hours to master.

Cut the Rope 2
Don’t be fooled by the bubblegum bright colour scheme and cartoon graphics, this sequel is very smart. Ramping up the physics based puzzles, there’s a lot to consider in helping Om Nom reach his candy.

Strata
Your goal in Strata is to layer ribbons over a grid and ensure the top layer matches the colours of the grid below. A smooth learning curve helps, but there is no denying this minimalist game is a mind-bending monster to conquer.

Hitman GO
The console game franchise has been reinvented as a villainous version of Cluedo. This approach was great for simplifying the controls for mobile, without sacrifi cing the complexity of the puzzles or the elegant in-game visuals.

Monument Valley
Full of impossible architecture that doesn’t go anywhere, Monument Valley is like an interactive version of M.C. Escher’s surreal paintings. Your job is to figure out which objects to move around so the heroine can move on.
