- Genre: Puzzle » Action
iO is a solid physics puzzler with simple controls, minimalistic visuals, and challenging gameplay that comes together as an overall decent experience.
The tough difficulty spike and puzzles reliant on trial and error and good luck prevent this from being an excellent title, but if you are looking for a game to waste some time then this is worth trying.

- Genre: Puzzle » Action
Spy Chameleon is a fun and engaging puzzler, with a likeable aesthetic that will keep you amused throughout its seventy-five increasingly challenging levels.

#3. Peggle 2
- Release Data: PopCap/Electronic Arts, 2013

Peggle 2 is ultimately the same basic concept as the original set of games, but it’s still most definitely worth playing if you’re a series fan.
