Why we picked this?

Draw the pieces from the top of the screen into the grid at the bottom in order to create completed rows or columns. It’s similar to Tetris in a lot of ways, except pieces aren’t pulled to the bottom of the screen. They remain in place wherever you draw them as long as they fit. Additionally, pieces can not be rotated. Hexus adds a nice strategic twist to its gameplay by allowing you to put pieces that don’t quite fit into the holding zone and use them later. The game also includes leaderboards.

You enjoy simple casual games like Tetris. You won’t find any timers. Just pure puzzle solving gameplay.

You require variety in your games. You won’t find any additional modes or power-ups. What you see is what you get.

Why we picked this?

Hoppetee plays a lot like Tiny Wings, where you must tap and hold on the screen to get rolling down hills and release at just the right moment to shoot into the sky. Try to collect music notes to get into the groove and release fireflies to help you safely travel through the night. The game includes loads of challenges to take on, power-ups, and leaderboards via Game Center.

You’re into casual games. It’s like Tiny Wings but much more forgiving.

You want something new. These types of games have been done many times before.
