Slide puzzle pieces together to complete the image in Zenge.

Why we picked this?

Zenge is void of points, timers, tutorials, move counters, and rating systems. They’re just a distraction from the art and sound. The idea is to slide puzzle pieces together in order to complete the image. The only thing stopping you are the puzzle pieces themselves since they can block each other out if put into place too soon. Take your time. Relax. Enjoy.

You want to just kick up your feet and put some puzzles together.

You require competitive elements.

Why we picked this?

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.

You’re sick of the same old puzzle games. Sea of Squares is vibrant, relaxing fun.

You’re easily frustrated. Some puzzles will have you reshuffling colors in order to find matches.
