LinesLines by Ziming Zhang (Free, 11.3 MB): Nearly anyone in the family can pass the time and challenge their mind by playing this uniquely strategic and unpredictable match-5 puzzler. Unlike similar titles, pieces may move more than a single space. To maneuver them, tap on one to select it, then tap an empty destination cell. With only a few pieces to start, the board is very unobstructed, allowing easy alignment. As time progresses, a random set of three randomly will be added and are shown beforehand in the bottom-left. Not only does the increasing crowd force unwanted moves, it can entirely block actions. Think of every move as if you’re dragging a piece to the desired location, thus requiring an open path, whether winding or direct. Obviously, this restriction is how play becomes so difficult. The game features colorful 2.5-D graphics, children's-style background music, Classic and extra reward providing Arcade modes, move assistance, tutorial as well as Game Center leaderboards.
Alphabets 2 Words by Saurabh Passolia (Free, 27.8 MB): This fast-paced and strategic word search puzzler provides a solid mind workout and, of course, some time passing entertainment. To complete each stage, you must highlight a single target word. Sounds way too easy, right? Indeed, the task is simple, however, execution has its difficulties. Rather than contiguously aligned in a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal, word selection involves grabbing letters throughout the board in a maze navigating-type fashion. The less steps you take, the better. In addition, as time ticks away, so does the coin reward, which is used to purchase power-ups, if desired. Following the completion of each stage, you amy submit the individual level score as a public challenge. The game features 2.5-D graphics, techno soundtrack, 160 predefined stages spanning eight word categories, four power-ups, global challenges, as well as Game Center achievements and leaderboard. An unlimited level mode can be unlocked via a $1.99 in-app purchase.
