Why we picked this?

Each of the 100 puzzles require you to drag and drop pieces from the lower half of the screen into the top in order to completely fill in the shape. Pieces can not be flipped or rotated, so you’ll have your work cut out for you. The game also includes an unlimited number of hints and undos, creating a rather relaxing environment. Although, if you do utilize a hint you won’t be able to earn a perfect rating.

Montezuma is one chill game. No timers, no worries. Just sit back and enjoy.

If you’re into competing with your friends for high scores, this isn’t the app for you.

Your spaceship was struck by a comet and completely destroyed. Now it’s up to you, captain, to navigate through the universe and reunite your crew. You’re able to walk around planets simply by tapping each side of the screen. Prepare your jetpack by tapping and holding both sides of the screen, and release to fire. If you reach the gravitational pull of another planet, you’ll be safely sucked in. Move from planet to planet gathering your crew while avoiding deadly comets and asteroid fields.

If exquisitely designed platformers are your thing, check out Sunburn. It includes more than 50 levels to enjoy.

The level of difficulty can be a tad inconsistent, and there isn’t a way to skip levels.
