Why we picked this?

Push-Bot is a pretty basic robot. His only means of movement are his two spring loaded appendages. The idea is to tap either side of the screen to extend the appendages and push him through the air towards the exit. It’s a lot easier said than done since you’ll have explosives, chasms, moving objects, and a wide variety of other obstacles standing in your way as you flop around. The game includes two modes, 39 maps, and shareable replays.

You enjoy brutally challenging games like Flappy Bird.

You’re easily frustrated.

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.
