flower

flower is lovely game from the same studio that brought you journey. you are a petal flying on the wind, your mission: to greenify things... with its lovely zen interactive soundtrack this game goes straight into my top 10. beautifully pointless.

slidey

nice take on tetris, music is restful, ability to think ahead is essential. https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/slidey-block-puzzle/id966322463

sumikko gurashi

ok so this is a another match 3 (4 actually) game but it has a certain something... ...how would i describle it... hello kitty on drugs! lot of upgrades to be had and the difficultly curve isn't too steep the music is wonderfully cutesy in a nintendo zelda kind of way although if you listen to it too much you will go mad it is a tenacious little earworm... NO MORE¬! PLEASE! but there is some serious strategy to it and it becomes quite challenging hexic meets tetris in a a world where conflict means box office this harmless and charming little game is a breath of fresh air a well thought out japanese gem.

kaiju rush

this
is a very cute and dumb japanese style timewaster/endless runner. you are a kaiju (a monster), and you have to destroy the cities by timing your superbouncing correctly. sounds easy, it isn't. it's like crossy road in reverse, instead of avoiding things you have to DESTROY them! fun. and when you hit the sweet spot it's oddly satisfying. the graphics are lovely pastelly 80's nintendo blockiness. it's lacking some nintendo earworm of a tune, unfortunately, but hey, you can find plenty of dumb nintendo tunes on spotify... and you have to put up with a lot of adverts so mute the sound and stick your headphones on...
