Puzzle

Logic puzzles for newcomers who like to look twice before they touch anything.

Difficulty and pace vary a lot across this shelf. 2903 Mahjong Story 2 is the gentlest entry — classic tile matching across 1,000+ levels, playable by any skill level. 2939 Higgs Ball Paint is a short zen session: slide the screen to set the aiming angle, launch coloured balls to paint shapes, and try to finish in one colour. 2911 Drawing Lines Great Adventure asks you to draw one continuous line to shield the panda for five seconds, and the publisher notes a level can have more than one answer. 2933 Save The Girl 3 and 2918 Thief Puzzle Online are scenario brain-teasers — solve a situation to protect the girl or steal the treasure. 2935 Road Connection is the most demanding: connect branch lines so each vehicle turns onto the right route and every car reaches its correct endpoint. 2904 Hoard Master Online is an io-style grow-and-consume loop, and 2900 Protect The Dog 3D is a wall-building defence puzzle with 65 unique levels.

Where to start: take 2903 Mahjong Story 2 for a familiar, relaxing session. Try 2939 Higgs Ball Paint when you have only a few minutes and want one satisfying mechanic. Choose 2935 Road Connection when you want the real brain-burn and don't mind restarting a level to test a route.
