Twenty48 Solitaire
This android game combines solitaire with puzzles. Just as the name implies, mechanics are taken from the highly popular phenomenon game 2048 but you do not slide match number blocks. You play cards on 4 discard piles. Basically, you have to be highly strategic about how you place your cards. The game is varied enough from the original 2048 and adds some extras through the card use. The only bad thing that we can say about Twenty48 Solitaire is there are so many ads. You get one when you end the game, level up, want an undo and refresh discard piles.
Price: Free – $4 optional app purchase
Two Dots
Two Dots is very easy to learn, hard to master and can become pretty addictive. This is what we expect from a really good puzzle game. The game is actually a sequel to a game that was really popular. However, the new one features over 900 levels, with 10 being a tutorial. The adventure is linear but after reaching level 35 you gain access to the Expedition game mode. There are no ads in the game and the visuals are really simple, clean. In-app purchases are available for some shuffles, which can be helpful during really tricky levels.
Price: Free – In-app purchases available
hocus.
hocus. Is an indie game that is free but so interesting because of the fact that it allows you to play puzzles that are created by others, if the 100 official ones are not enough for you. The idea is to simply swipe in order to move a cube. As you hit the intersection, you can change direction. The goal is to reach the finish marker as efficiently and as fast as possible.
