Games

Seriously fiendish brain-teaser, but the variety dries up all too quickly, even if the number of levels don’t.

Letterpress is now the only two-player word game in town, in our eyes. (Almost literally – we’re so addicted we’re often not playing much else.)

A mite frustrating at times, but Shardlands adds much-needed layers of mystery and atmosphere to the tried-and-tested iOS puzzle-adventure format.

Further proof that adventure gaming and iOS devices go hand in hand like a hidden key in a mysterious chest.

Thoughtful puzzling that requires a careful approach, but the slow-paced gameplay keeps things from ever being truly compelling.

This smartly technical brain-teaser is not only perfect for touch-screen, but is likely to restore faith in your own half-forgotten schooling.

BoxPlots takes an overdone format and adds charm, character and a smidge of originality, resulting in a very pleasant puzzler.

Easy on the eyes and ears, with a quietly compelling nature that keeps you playing far longer than you’d expect.
