Puzzlexia

zxretrosoft_1

Puzzlexia is a game of logic and skill where you have to collect all the diamonds scattered around the screen so you can get out of the room. The main problem is that a wall will start to move in your direction non-stop, and if you can't get out before it gets to you you'll die. You've got to lay out the best path so you can escape unharmed. The first thing to do before starting the level is to survey the whole enclosure so you can locate everything you've got to collect – as well as all the obstacles that will get in your way – before you set out. Also, note that there are bricks that disappear after a few seconds and other ones that you have to dodge if you don't want to end up prematurely dead. And keep in mind that not all the gems can be instantly collected with a single tap when you make your mental map of how to get out with everything you need. The exit stays locked until you get the very last ruby, so if you know you won't manage to collect all the items it's a waste of your time to run around trying – there's nothing that can save you now. Along the way, you can collect other items to get some extra points, though your time to beat each level is very limited. Puzzlexia presents a proper challenge for people who play a lot of logic and room escape games, as its extra sprinkling of difficulty will really put you up against the wall (literally) in the app's many levels. You'll stay hooked for hours trying out dozens of different escape routes for each room. On more than one occasion you're sure to throw in the towel on levels that seem impossible, but it's all a matter of practice and patience.

Combinatorix

zxretrosoft_1

Combinatorix is a puzzle game where your aim is to get a ball from the starting box in a maze of tiles to the end. To do so you'll need to use different automation commands to, for instance, make the ball change direction, move diagonally, or jump other tiles. The game is divided into two well-differentiated sections. In the first, you have to set the automatons on the tiles where you think they'll be necessary. And during the second part, you've just got to observe whether your ball makes it to the endpoint ... or whether you've bungled up the operation and have to try again. You can pick from several different balls, and though they change the look of the game, they don't change the gameplay or anything. And there are several dozen levels to get through whose difficulty gets considerably harder. At first, for example, you've just got to get to the tile at the end, but as you carry on the number of tiles you have to pass through also increases. Combinatorix is an original and entertaining puzzle game, and even without particularly stellar graphics, it manages to present an addictive gaming experience.

Fruit Crush

NiceRed Games Inc.

Fruit Crush is a puzzle game that's openly inspired by Candy Crush Saga, which in turn pays homage to Clash of Clans with an absolutely beautiful start screen. Two homages to two big Android games in just one video game. The gameplay in Fruit Crush is practically identical to that in Candy Crush Saga and other similar games. That is to say, you have to move colorful fruit on the board, trying to make them disappear and get more points. In fact, each level will end when you get the predetermined amount of points (which is usually a thousand). In Fruit Crush, you have to advance through a series of levels. Unfortunately, almost all of the levels are identical to one another, so the feeling of progress is not as satisfying as it could be. Fruit Crush is a surprising game. Its graphics are surprising, the variety of its levels is surprising, and its sound effects are definitely surprising as well. Basically, it's all a pleasant surprise.

Dualotl

Black Games

Dualotl is a 2D platform game in which you control two characters simultaneously. You will have a different objective in each game's level, but you must never forget that every time you move one of the two characters, the other will also move. What's more, if either of the two gets hurt, you will have to start over. Dualotl control system is the traditional one of the genre. If you play with the keyboard, you can use the arrow keys to move the two characters and the space bar to jump. However, you will also be able to play with a controller if you have an Xbox or PlayStation gamepad connected to the PC. Whichever option you choose, the truth is that, although the game is challenging, the control is very accessible. One element to keep in mind with Dualotl is that, although at first sight, it may appear to be a pure platformer, it has more puzzle elements than it looks like. In most of the game's levels, you will have to stop, observe and recognize the patterns of the moving platforms if you want your two characters to come through safely. If you try to jump at full speed with only one of them, you will most likely end up losing the other one. Dualotl offers a great combination of puzzles and platforming in two dimensions, with a high level of difficulty capable of testing even the most skilled in the genre. The game also has a beautiful esthetic and a charming pair of protagonists.

Sokobano

Martin Tschirsich

Sokobano is an amusing game that challenges you to rack your brains to figure out how to move boxes in a room to complete the different puzzles. The mechanics are very easy. You're a boy who pushes boxes in a room and your goal is to place them in the correct place in the room. It seems easy at first, but things get harder and harder as long as you complete some levels. You can't leave boxes in the middle of the room blocking the rest of the boxes and the boy. Remember you can push boxes but you can't drag them. The graphics of the game are pretty good, models are 3D and environments are well designed, and the puzzles are amazing.

Jelly no Puzzle

Qrostar

Jelly no Puzzle is a game that's as fun as it is complex. In it, your objective is to get all the gelatin together in each level, creating groups of two or more gelatin cubes. At first, the gameplay seems really simple, but once you start playing, you realize the levels appear to have been designed by Satan himself (or just some really twisted Japanese person). The solution for some of the puzzles seems obvious, but it's actually a lot more complicated than you could ever imagine. The game isn't finished yet, but it might as well be, since most players will never even reach level 9. Jelly no Puzzle is not one of those games that takes your hand and guides you through the first few levels; instead, it starts full on from the beginning. The gameplay, nevertheless, is very simple: you have to left-click on a jelly cube to move it to the left, and right-click to move it to the right. In this way, you have to try to get all the jelly cubes together, and it's definitely not easy. Jelly no Puzzle is a fun game with a simple gameplay but an extremely high level of difficulty. It will keep you hooked, trying to solve the puzzles for hours on end.

Raincat

Game Creation Society

Raincat is a puzzle/platform game that combines elements from classic games like Lemmings and The Incredible Machine. In it, you have to guide a pretty kitty throughout each level without getting it wet. The problem for the cat and for you is that it's constantly raining. So you'll need to make use of different elements to make sure that not a drop of water hits the cat's fur. You'll have raincoats and umbrellas, and also wrenches to close fire hydrants and poles for jumping puddles. The number of each item that you can use in each level is limited, so you'll need to think carefully about where to place each object before giving the cat the go-ahead. After all, if it gets wet at any point in the level, you'll have to start all over again from the beginning. Raincat is a fun game with original gameplay and absolutely charming hand-drawn graphics.

Dungeon Dogan

N/A

Dungeon Dogan is a puzzle game where you control a group of explorers who, after getting a treasure hidden at the very bottom of some catacombs, become victims of a curse that will kill them in less than 10 seconds. Your aim in each level is to keep Professor Dogan alive until the end. The other members of his expedition (warriors, strongmen, and demolition men) are totally expendable, although vital in certain key moments on some levels. In other words, you can let some die, but you'll need to keep some of the others alive for strategic purposes. The demolition men, for example, are needed for moving rocks out of your path, while the warriors can murder the killer apes. In any case, it's important to keep in mind that all the characters can move only a limited number of times before dying... unless they're touching a black tile. Dungeon Dogan is a puzzle game with a very well-developed gameplay and brilliant graphics. Another outstanding project from the Spanish studio Deconstructeam, developers of the popular Gods Will Be Watching.
