Dexter Slice is the spiritual successor to Slice HD. Just like the original game, the objective is to tap buttons hidden behind blades of all shapes and sized without getting cut. It’s not just about avoiding blades, either. You’ll have to hold them back, sometimes using up to as many as 10 fingers, in order to reveal the button. The game includes 120 levels, and voice-overs by James Remar.

You enjoyed the Showtime series, Dexter.

You get frustrated easily. The difficulty ramps up quickly.

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.
