This little game I found: Monument Valley 2

Monument Valley was released several years ago and was a great experience. The game is actually so fantastic that it was used as a plot device in the Netflix show House of Cards. And now there’s a sequel.

It follows the puzzling journey of Ro and her daughter, that have to navigate a world of fixed perpectives and mind breaking paths. The minimlistic art style is utilized to its fullest, as the straight angles and play of light and shadows in a pixelated world allow a path to bend and change in impossible ways, as you help guide Ro and her daughter on their quest.

Accompanied by a beautiful, relaxing soundtrack, this gem and its predecessor is highly recommended to anyone with a mobile device or tablet.

This little game I found: Mini Metro

Mini Metro is a game I’ve actually been waiting for to be released on mobile devices. It’s a minimalistic puzzle game where you create tracks for trains and subways to carry passengers from where they are to where they want to go. But you have to do it with finite resources of how many tracks, trains, and tunnels you have at your disposal. However, you can redraw an existing track, or move an existing train, in any way you’d like to try and make sure none of the stations that pop up become overcrowded. It’s super easy and intuitive, and both relaxing and hectic at the same time.

This little game I found: Outfolded

If you’d like to test your dimensional thinking, Outfolded lets you plan how to unfold boxes of different shapes to create a path between two squares. Flipping the boxes onto its different sides you step it towards the goal, and continue with the next available box to trace your path around holes and gaps, trying to make your pieces fit and reach the entire way.

This little game I found: Balanse

Mike — Wed, 05 Oct 2016 14:23:53 +0000

A simplistically stylized game about building and balancing a power grid to power cities and towns, while taking into consideration how to manage if a powerline is damaged in some way. The difficulty ramps up a bit inconsistently if you’re looking to three-star everything, and the effect you need to look out for are random, so you can’t guarantee that a fix will work on the next run. But as long as you power all points for long enough you clear a level and unlock the next, so stars are only time-based.
