3. Numpuz: Classic Number Games

One of the most popular mobile puzzle games is here, including various games like Sudoku, Block Flee, and more, all in one app.

Number Riddle is the most famous one. It’s all about classic sliding puzzles with ordering number sequences. The mission is that you should make an ordered arrangement of the number tiles in a gridded area by sliding them. The game is made for everyone, from the beginner to the experienced puzzle players. You might say it’s a piece of cake to order a 3×3 number grid, but imagine when it comes to 8×8! Now there are 8 rows and 8 columns, so it’s not easy anymore.

At first sight, the game has minimalist designs, and it is really simple to take in and start playing, while logical thinking and some planning are surely in demand in order to solve every puzzle.

4. 2048

This one is my favorite! 2048 is a simple logic-based game where players combine tiles on a 4×4 grid to reach the goal of creating a 2048 tile. Despite the fact that the game is pretty straightforward, there is a bit of mental activity required. You have to swipe tiles in any direction to merge the tiles with the same number and double them. The numbers are 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and so on. The objective is to stay relaxed and go on merging tiles until it is possible to obtain a 2048 tile, but the problem is that with every move made, a new tile comes and the process of getting extra space on the field becomes more complicated.
It is possible to introduce lots of tactical and strategic aspects in the game development, but it is enjoyable when you find your way and strategy. I can surely say that you will be addicted to this game.
