Why we picked this?

Open Bar will provide you with instant gratification. The moment you launch the app you’ll begin to appreciate its slick design and animations. The basic idea of the game is to drag and drop bars onto the board in order to create completed lines of the same color. The bars can be rotated with a tap, and merged when crossed over one another. Each puzzle can be completed in three moves or less, and you’re able to use a hint at any time in case you get stuck.

If you’re into puzzles, you have to try Open Bar. It’s simply delightful.

It’s a very casual puzzle game without any major competitive elements.

The coins you collect can be used to erect one of eight different tower types to help defend your king. The game includes stylish cartoon graphics, 30 levels, and three difficulty settings.

If you want something more from your tower defense game, Onion Force has it. Not only is it stylish, it also has destructible environments, weather conditions, and varying terrain.
