  • Puzzles and brain teasers
  • Bright, upbeat tone
  • Gameplay comes before story

A minimalist physics platformer where you control a ball and change its speed and weight by growing or shrinking it. Use momentum cleverly to finish levels as fast as possible and earn gold medals.

Puddle

Gameplay comes before story

You control no character, only a pool of fluid, by tilting the environment. Use physics and the properties of water, oil, lava or nitroglycerin to carry as much liquid as possible through hazardous levels.

Zuma's Revenge!

Cosy, great for unwinding

A colorful PopCap ball-shooting puzzle arcade game where you control a frog and match balls to stop advancing chains. Frog movement, new power-ups and tiki boss fights add variety to the classic Zuma formula.

Square's Route

Cosy, great for unwinding

A small indie puzzle game about planning efficient paths while cutting weeds. I only know it vaguely, so this rating is conservative.

Ballance

Gameplay comes before story

You roll a ball through twelve linear, surreal levels, switching between paper, wood and stone at transformers to overcome obstacles. A calm physics-based skill and puzzle game with a memorable atmosphere and music.

Aero's Quest

Linear, curated structure

A fast-paced puzzle-platformer side scroller with over 100 colorful levels, where Aero solves puzzles to rescue Ariella from the evil Andraus.

Spectrum

Gameplay comes before story

An abstract puzzle platformer with 80 levels across eight colorful, geometric environments. It focuses on short, precise jumping and puzzle challenges.

Mr.Jezko

Gameplay comes before story

A small indie adventure where you guide a hedgehog through many levels, gathering fruit, dodging traps and predators, and solving simple puzzles. A compact, easygoing game.
