Tired of easy puzzle games where random swipes can earn you more points that a carefully designed strategy? Fed up of throwing angry birds to a pile of wood to see how it collapses? The App Store is crammed with casual games to play while you queue at the grocery store with little substance. I've never been specially excited about colour matching puzzles, but when things get this challenging, there's no way you can put it down.
Blockees [iTunes Link] by Runloop is little puzzler where you have to match blocks of different colours in the least amount of moves. Set on a maze-like 8x6 grid, all the blockees will move with your finger swipes up, down, left and right. The tricky part of the game comes trying to align the cute blocks of the same colour while avoiding nasty grey blockees and walls.
This is easier said than done. Unlike recent casual games where you tap, tap, tap until you get it right, Blockees teases you right from the start of the level indicating the minimum amount of moves you need to get it completed. The beauty of the game is working out the different combinations before you even touch your iPhone screen. As soon as you start moving your blocks around, you'll realize there's a quicker way to solve the level, and before you know it, the evening is gone.
The game starts with very simple puzzles to get you used to the game dynamic. You learn that swipes move all the blockees on the grid at the same time. After some trial and error, you also learn that you can't leave unhappy blocks alone! Then, special items such as rainbow blocks and bombs are introduced, giving you a new world of possibilities.
