Building upon a tried and true gameplay formula can be a difficult task, but Word Hack nails it with perfection. It’s your classic game of Hangman on the surface, providing you with a category and requiring you to spell out the word or words using the letters available to you. But it adds multiple layers of fun by requiring you to move quickly and with precision. The letters are highlighted with different colors to provide you with subtle clues on where they could possibly go, but you only have one minute and five strikes to move them into the correct positions.

Security Guard Exam Prep 2014 makes it easy to study in small chunks, which is exactly why we had to include it in today’s list. Honestly, who has the time to sit around for hours on end studying?

The exam covers everything from firearms and batons to terrorism and WMD. There’s also a test-taking strategy guide, ensuring you’re prepared for the real thing when the time comes.

What really makes Cut the Buttons special is its control mechanism. The tips of your two fingers control the sides of the scissors. You must try to navigate them around the screen snipping off buttons before the pieces of cloth leave the screen. The game adds a second challenging element by having you try to get the buttons into a bucket below, which can be moved side-to-side with swipe.

Baal is a little red devil with a ton of personality and a high tolerance for pain, which is why we enjoy beating him up so very much. The animated, hand-drawn Baal will dance around, shape shift, and do whatever else he wants if left alone, so that’s where you come in. Baal needs to be roughed up because he totally deserves it! You’re able to interact with Baal in a wide variety of ways. Your imagination is the only thing holding you back from seeing the thousands upon thousands of hilarious and wacky animations.

Bicolor is so simple and yet so complex, which is why we can’t put it down. Each puzzle has various amounts of colored and numbered brushes. You must drag them across the screen to use up their paint block-by-block and fill in the screen. The trick is that you can only paint over other colors and not those that are the same as the brush in your hand, so you must create paths from one brush to another to fill in the screen.
