Puzzle

Reverse Order

Looking for a non-typical puzzle game? Reverse Order can become a real treat if you're up for the challenge. The game is actually a variation of the timeless board game, Reversi. The original game sees players fighting to see who could turn over as many pieces from their opponents. Typically, players choose which side of the pieces they prefer and they take turns trying to turn over their opponents pieces. In Reverse Order, players will take turns placing pieces on the board in an attempt to turn over their opponents piece. In addition to that, players will have to match the pattern given on the left side of the screen.

Propel

Like most puzzle games, Propel contains almost the same basic mechanics. You find the exit, which is often cleverly hidden, so you can clear a particular level. However, despite the basic gameplay and mechanics, Propel manages to stand out thanks to the way it carefully combines platform gaming and solving puzzles. The game not only allows you to solve puzzles but it also makes sure that you practice and hone your motor-skills with its platformer type of gameplay. Propel was developed by Abscure Games and was actually a remake of an old game they had called "The Fall Game." If you're looking for an interesting puzzler, then give this one a go.

Pushover (remake)

Pushover is a revamped version of an old puzzle game back in the 90s. The main point of the game is that you have to figure out how to arrange the dominoes properly so that you can knock all of them down with just one push. The game is pretty much the same as the older version with several improvements added in the bag, of course. The puzzle pieces start off simple enough, but they do get much more complicated as you progress throughout the game. To add to the pressure, there's a time limit for each level so you have to be on your tippy toes when figuring out how to arrange the yellow pieces. The original game was published by Ocean and the remake was made by Ishisoft. Pretty cool puzzle game. Give it a go!
