The Bridge

The Quantum Astrophysicists Guild

The Bridge is a puzzle and platform game with very similar mechanics to `And Yet it Moves´. In it we will have to overcome a series of levels that reminds strongly to the artist M.C.Escher´s famous pictures. To finish each level we will have to go through a door which will often be locked. To open it will have to either use the key itself, or use a stone to set off a mechanism. But of course... doing this will not be easy at all while we´re turning the world at the same time. This is because the basic mechanics of the game will make us have to turn the world to get from one place to another and play with the physics of the objects on the stage. The Bridge is an independent game with a fantastic visual section; it has Xbox 360 control port, its own achievements system and enough levels to keep us entertained for a few hours.

Pequepon Magical Blocks

Divernova Games_1

Pequepon Magical Blocks is a remake of Nintendo's classic Sokoban. In it your mission consists of guiding the adorable Pequepon through nine different worlds where your sole aim is rescuing the little pequepons who've been kidnapped by an evil witch. Each of the worlds has 10 different levels, giving you a total of 90 stages where you have to push tons of boxes in order to open up a path. That said, you always have to move carefully and not block your path, since it's very probable that you'll do this on accident if you're not careful. As you advance through the game the difficulty will increase. Luckily, the game gives you a series of presents every five levels to skip any stage where you're particularly stuck. Also, since some levels may last a long time, you can save the game in the middle and return to it later on. Graphically, Pequepon Magical Blocks is really adorable. The character and level designs are colorful and the pixelated style will delight lovers of all things retro. Pequepon Magical Blocks is a very entertaining puzzle game to test the intelligence and ability of anyone who dares to play the game and dedicate enough time to get to the most complex parts.

Bomb Buddies

N/A

Bomb Buddies is a puzzle and action game in which you'll face off against other players from around the world in duels that require intelligence and agility in equal measure if you want to emerge victorious. Gameplay is very similar to that of the classic Bomberman in the sense that you move through a scene divided into grids, dropping bombs on any square while also planning your next moves in advance. After all, you might win by putting a bomb in the right square, but you could just as easily end your own life. Bomb Buddies currently supports up to eight players in its multiplayer. It has three different playing modes and 120 different levels where you can go crazy dropping bombs. In other words, you have more than enough material to keep you entertained for many hours.

Not Pacman

Stabyourself

Not Pacman is a new version of the classic Pacman, and while it shares a lot in common with this giant from Namco, its gameplay is quite different. In this version, you don't control pacman, you control the map, rotating it either way to make the character fall whichever way you like. This means that any time you tilt the stage left, both the yellow hero and the ghosts roll left, and the same happens if you tilt the stage right. The goal of the game is the same, to eat all the dots without getting caught by ghost. However, the type of challenge is very different. The game's graphics are the same as the original. While they might be outdated, it would seem just wrong if it were anything else. Not Pacman is a very entertaining game that goes beyond a simple novelty to offer a fun game to play, that requires just a little skill and patience

Back to Bed

Bedtime Digital Games

Back to Bed is a fun puzzle game that uses a very similar gameplay to that of the brilliant ChuChu Rocket! from Dreamcast. It puts you in the skin of a strange character, Bob, who is a narcoleptic sleepwalker. Your goal is to return him safely to his bed. Bob will always move in a straight line, no matter which level you're on, though he'll turn clockwise when he encounters an obstacle. Your goal is to guide him to his bed as best as you can. To do so you can move items and put them in his way so he turns in a certain direction. The game has 12 different levels that pose 12 increasingly complex puzzles. In all of them, you'll discover new items that further complicate things. Aesthetically speaking, Back to Bed is reminiscent of Giorgio de Chirico's drawings. The landscapes and dream elements, given the nature of the game, feel quite apt. And the fact that everything is three-dimensional and has very careful character modeling helps the general look of the game even more. Back to Bed is a very entertaining game. Although it's rather short, it has an interesting gameplay, a fun premise, and very good graphics. Even better? It's completely free.

Match and Magic

N/A

Match Magic is a role-playing and puzzle game similar to Puzzle Quest. It does a good job combining elements from both genres to create an enjoyable experience: role-play development through puzzle-based combat. Basically, you have to combine three or more game pieces of the same type to create an effect. So, if you combine three swords you can deal direct damage, or join others together to gain mana that you can use with cards. Mana is related to the second most important element of gameplay in Match and Magic: the cards. These cards with spells allow you to cast magic during your battles, in addition to four other types of actions that are fundamental if you want to win the game's most important battles. In addition to traditional combat and the use of card-based magic, you can use all kinds of other objects during the story and the combats themselves. Match and Magic is a fun puzzle and role-playing game with in-depth gameplay, an entertaining storyline, and well-done graphics.

N/A

Source Control is a puzzle and strategy game where you play a hacker from the future who has to face a powerful artificial intelligence in duels combining the gameplay of Puzzle Quest with traditional Rubik's cubes.

Vecinity

Interactiva

Vecinity is a first person puzzle game, which its developers define as 'Portal made by an independent team'. The reality, of course, is not quite as good looking, but the game does offer an interesting experience nonetheless. The player assumes the role of Claire, a young woman who, with the help of a number of high-tech gadgets, must gain access to an abandoned science laboratory to retrieve the Control Cube, a mysterious artefact that allows you to bend reality itself. As you would expect, the lab is full of traps and puzzles that require our heroine use her 'Dynamic Force Manipulator', an artefact with which she can manipulate objects from a distance. In practice, this device works in very similar way to the legendary gravity gun from Half-Life 2. With these tools in hand and with a series of rooms full of puzzles lying ahead, the player's objective is to get in, collect the cube, and get out, without the poor Claire being left stuck in the complex forever. And as you will quickly find out, this will be no easy task. Vecinity is an entertaining first-person puzzle and platform game, which while sharing some similarities with Portal, unsurprisingly fails to reach that game’s dizzying heights. That said, it's still well worth the effort, and will probably last no more than an hour and a half to any fan of the genre.

This Precious Land

Craig Forrester

This Precious Land is a puzzle game with mechanics that are very similar to those of the excellent Triple Town, where you have to place different tiles of landscape in order to create a wonderful world, bit by bit. So, you have to place two of the same type of tile next to each other in order to make something better. For example, if you put two grass tiles next to each other, you'll create woodland, and if you put two woodlands next to each other, you'll have a forest of trees, and so on. One big difference between this game and the mechanics of Triple Town is that in This Precious Land you can harvest the tiles that you create. When you do so, you'll get two kinds of resources, and with those resources you can create new tiles that are different from the basic grass tiles. This Precious Land doesn't have great graphics, but it doesn't really need to. The game uses simple pixelated graphics that don't interfere at all with the simple and extremely addictive mechanics. In addition, it has an enchanting retro feel to it. This Precious Land is a brilliant puzzle game with original and fun mechanics that can keep you entertained for hours. Even though this game is completely free, it's one of those games that could cost an arm and a leg and still be worth it.

Crawl

Powerhoof

Crawl is a first-person puzzle and exploration game where you play a psychologist who navigates the twisting mazes of a patient's mind to find the cure and solution to his problem. The game is divided into a series of surreal and dangerous settings that can kill your (mental) health and force you to start over again from the beginning. The character moves block by block, just like in a traditional dungeon crawler, from which Crawl draws much of its inspiration. So you won't find levels, experience, or anything else. Instead, you'll find a series of powers. At first you can only open doors and chests, but as you move through the different levels, you'll be able to create shields and even attacks. The most striking part of Crawl is definitely the graphics, which take full advantage of Game Maker to make a provocative retro style. Crawl is an interesting adventure game with puzzles. Although it's a bit short, it's a very enjoyable gaming experience all the same.

Agens Games

RichMakeGame

BrainSplode! is a puzzle game where your goal is to explode all the alien brains nested throughout the different levels that make up the main campaign.

SuteF

N/A

Most of the puzzles in each of the levels involve playing with the orientation of gravity and other things like using boxes and items in the level. Falling into the void, getting caught by a laser beam, or running straight into an enemy will be some of the many causes of death you might come across on your adventure. One of the things that makes SuteF so different from other puzzle platformers of this style is its aesthetic. Generally speaking, SuteF is a dark and macabre title where blood and grime prevail. SuteF is a very fun puzzle platformer where players have to use more ingenuity than skill. Some of the stages will really put your intelligence to the test.

Blocksum

N/A

Blocksum is a puzzle game that, despite looking like a sort of Tetris or Bejeweled at first glance, offers more than that: it offers a challenging experience for those in search of truly complicated puzzles. Your aim in Blocksum is to make all the blocks that appear on each level disappear. But, as you see from the beginning, each of these blocks comes with a number. The gameplay is simple: to make all the blocks containing a certain number disappear, you'll need at least the same number of blocks as the ones you want to get rid of. You can join blocks with the mouse and make bigger blocks, but you should only do that if you know you'll be able to break them. For example, you can create an enormous block of 12 or 13, but you'll be in a really, really bad spot when you go to get rid of it. You can create lots of blocks of three, though, and try to get rid of them all at once to get more points. Blocksum is a puzzle game that, thanks to its mathematical twist, succeeds in offering an experience that's very different from most other games in this genre.

Fishdom Harvest Splash

N/A

Fishdom Harvest Splash is a puzzle game in which your goal is to make all of the golden boxes in a huge aquatic panel disappear by forming groups of three or more identical pieces. A gameplay that’s basically very similar to the Candy Crush Saga, only without having to ask your friends for help in order to keep going.

Plus, as is the norm in this type of game, when you join more than three identical pieces you can get bombs and 'fireworks' which can blow up boxes without having to join them the regular way.

Monokrome

N/A

Monokrome is a first-person puzzle game where you play as a scientist who needs to hunt a dangerous drone that, after escaping the laboratory, killed all of the facility's workers in its path.

6x64

N/A

6x64 is a puzzle game that combines elements of three outstanding puzzle games (Tetris, Arkanoid, and Bejeweled) to create a unique experience. Your objective is to make all of the colored blocks disappear so that you can earn as many points as possible. You have a limited amount of time to line up the colored blocks as they fall from the upper part of the screen. But the problem is, as you destroy blocks and gain points, the direction from which the blocks fall will change. So although the game may start with the blocks falling from the upper part of the screen, it'll only be a few seconds before the direction changes and you have to place them as they arrive from the left or right side of the screen. Direction changes aren't the only factors that affect gameplay in 6x64. If you manage to connect more than three blocks together, you'll get a multiplier. 6x64 is a complex but fun puzzle game.

Magnetized

N/A

Magnetized is a clever puzzle game where you have to move a magnetic particle that usually goes in a straight line from one point on the screen to the other. In order to move it, you'll have to use a series of magnetic blocks to attract your particle in that direction. Each one of the 50+ levels in Magnetized is a different type of maze where you'll find one or more magnetic nodes. By tapping the button (there's only one button in the game), you'll make the closest node attract your particle, which otherwise moves in a straight line. Like this you'll have to try to stop the particle from hitting any walls – and it's not easy. Sometimes you'll have to make a chain of several consecutive nodes and calculate the particle's trajectory very precisely. Magnetized is a truly original puzzle game. With just one button, it offers a fantastic gaming experience where the graphics are as simple as they are appealing.

Don't Move

stvr

Don't Move is an odd kind of puzzle game (it's the only category that seems to even sort of fit) that asks you to explore the relationship between a video game's narrative and gameplay. And all of that with tons of ninjas thrown in. You only have one rule to follow, and it's right in the game's title - don't move. In fact, when you try to move your character, he will die. When that happens, the game's development (or lack of development) is exclusively in your hands, and depends on your ability to know how to communicate with the video game itself. Don't Move is strange, peculiar game that might not be everyone's cup of tea. Still, it's an interesting experiment that enables you to interact with a video game in an unusual way.

BrainSport

zxretrosoft_1

First released in 1991, ZX Spectrum's BrainSport was a game of intelligence where you had to move each block to its corresponding place to beat levels. For those who want to remember old times or simply want to test their mental agility, this new app recreates that perfect game. BrainSport has all 100 levels of the original and adds another 100 that are even more difficult. You'll have a blast trying to find the solutions to all the puzzles. With each new level, you'll get points that can be used to skip a puzzle that might be too hard or to reset complicated levels and start with some advantage. You have to get points and save them on the easy levels, because the later ones will make everything a lot more difficult. A single movement can slow down or even make it impossible to solve a puzzle, so take care as you advance through the 200 levels so you don't go crazy.
