I actually already owned this game on my phone and had played it a lot on the toilet at work 😅 It's good!

The difficulty does get pretty intense in the later levels, but it's never unfairly hard. A good one to pick up if you like minimalistic puzzlers.

Taking a good, long break from Hearthstone has done wonders for my backlog. Now I can help out around the house! Sorry, lame joke.

Taking a good, long break from Hearthstone has done wonders for my backlog. Now I can help out around the house! Sorry, lame joke.

Five more levels on Z then a couple Daily levels and I will 100% the game. For something like $3 I got over 40 hours of fun. Pretty good return on investment.

Next games I need to finish:

  • Transistor
  • Shovel Knight
  • Hotline Miami

Which would you tackle first?

I will finish this freaking game! A full time working week in (40 hours). I know technically 32 hours is full time but whatever, a lot of time for a simple puzzler.

On Y of Z level.

Still plugging away at this title. Managed to clear a few levels with a couple of beers in me. Sober I wouldn't do as well. Maybe Cheers is right. The more you drink the more weak brain cells you kill off so it's like survival of the fittest. You're smarter because you only have the best brain cells left....I've been …

Still working on this one. There seems to be a lot of redundant levels and inconsistent difficulty but I really enjoy it. There is a nice calming atmosphere, great with a touch screen and just relaxing. Great game.

Another addictive puzzle game. I got this free in a Humble Bundle and opened it up while the others were downloading. I ended up playing it for a solid hour and forgot all about the other games. It's an incredibly simple concept, but the design of the game is smooth and the puzzles get more and more challenging, plus you feel awesome everytime you complete a set. Definitely a fun little puzzle game.
