If you find yourself always stressed out, download Enlighten today. It has a rather unique feature that can track and study your health data throughout the day in order to notify you when your stress levels are too high.

If you prefer having a massive sound library, skip Enlighten. It has a very small and focused set of sounds.

Go out in search of lost treasure in Blackthorn Castle.

It’s for fans of classic point and click adventure games.

Why we picked this?

Uncle Henry is back at it again. This time he needs you and your newly acquired archeology skills to help him track down a mysterious artifact known to be hidden in the Castle Blackthorn in England. To find the long lost treasure you must pick the correct paths, solve puzzles, and search through old structures with just a tap. A built-in hint system will assist you when you’re stuck, and a dynamic map will ensure you won’t simply go running around in circles.

Blackthorn Castle is about as classic of a point and click adventure game as you can get. Well, that’s if you look past the beautifully rendered forest scenes and passageways, but why would you want to do that?

Going from scene to scene just to get to where you need to go can be a bit of a slog.

Sea of Squares is simple fun, and there’s nothing wrong with that! Each level presents you with a sea of squares that must be cleared. You’re able to remove them by tapping two or more adjacent squares of the same color. Every time you remove a set of squares the rest will squeeze in, creating new matches. When you near the end and can’t create a match, hit the reshuffle button and mix up the colors. You have a limited amount of reshuffles, so use them wisely. The game includes a total of 100 levels and three difficulty settings.

If you’re idea of fun is kicking your feet up with a good puzzle, this is your game. It has a simple concept and design, and yet it’s ridiculously addictive.

The later levels are quite challenging, and there's no way to skip them.
