1. Hitman Go (Puzzle game)
Hitman Go is fresh take
on the classic assassination game for consoles and PC. Players control a piece
representing Agent 47, an iconic character from their PC and console franchise
Hitman. Players work their way around a diorama-style board, turn by turn, to
eventually take out their mark. Enemy patrols move after you move, and combined
with special tiles for hiding and bonus objectives, you'll find yourself in
some very tricky situations. The stiff, plastic art style and physics, soothing
music, and smart, classic puzzle gameplay combine to make a really memory
experience.

2. Blek (Puzzle game)
Blek is a puzzle title
that has been earning accolades from all over for its wonderfully fresh
mechanics. Players are presented with a series of circles that have to be
popped before moving onto the next stage. Black spots are peppered in between;
touch those and you have to start over. The way you hit those targets is by
tracing a single gesture on the screen which is then repeated on its own over
and over after you lift your finger. The line can be as simple as a short swipe
that continues moving forward, but more often then not you'll have to get
pretty creative. Between the absolutely organic control scheme, otherworldly
sound effects, and flat, minimalist cleanliness of the graphics, Blek is surely
a game you won't soon forget.
3. Kiwanuka (Puzzle game)
Kiwanuka is an
imaginative puzzle game where one staff-toting wizard is guiding a large troupe
to the end of a treacherous path in order to free one of their brothers or
sisters. The core mechanic to accomplishing this is creating tall towers of
followers standing on one-anothers' shoulders, and tipping them over to cross
gaps, and allowing the others to cross. Don't try to find the logic there, you
won't find any, but it's pretty fun to watch, especially since the art style
adopts this super-flat, polygonal look. If you're looking for an extremely
fresh puzzle game, try Kiwanuka.
4. VVVVVV (Action game)
VVVVVV is low-fi
platformer made by the creator Super Hexagon that really screws with your sense
of gravity. Players are guiding a spaceship captain through a bizarre alternate
universe after being sucked into an anomaly and having his crew scattered. Instead
of jumping up over threats, players reverse polarity of gravity so they fall
towards the roof or back to the floor. Every game screen is another section of
a massive, sprawling play area, each with its own unique challenge and clever
name. Scour every nook and cranny to rescue your shipmates and figure out a way
of getting out of this bizarre place. Besides a truly unique take on classic
platforming, VVVVVV has [an absolutely stellar 8-bit soundtrack]. If you want
to get a sample of the gameplay, be sure to snag the free Super
Gravitron game that was launched alongside VVVVVV.
5. Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake! (Adventure game)

Monsters Ate My
Birthday Cake is a throwback to classic action RPGs like Zelda framed as a
series of puzzles. Players switch between several adorably crude monsters with
their own abilities to move and avoid obstacles and rescue delicious pieces of
birthday cake. There's a village full of characters to talk to with their own
unique personalities and stories. The art style is altogether whimsical (though potentially
very borrowed), and simple tracing controls are well-suited for
mobile. Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake is colorful take on puzzle games with
enough retro charm to keep older folks playing, and enough humor for the
younger crowd too.
