1
Warlock TetroPuzzle
Combine Tetris and Solitaire with a little bit of magic and you've got Warlock Tetro Puzzle, a match-3-esque block puzzler where you conjure arcane tetromino figures onto 10x10 or 11x11 grids. There are different kinds of artifacts you can wield as you unlock trapped tiles and clear the board to earn points.
As you aim to maximise your score, you'll also need to keep in mind that you only have nine moves. Thankfully, there's no time limit that'll pressure you into making a decision. Conquer the leaderboards and take on daily challenges to become the ultimate tetromino magic maestro.

Numito
If math has never been your strong suit, Numito might just make it your new best friend with its minimalist puzzles with a colourful twist. All you have to do is slide blocks to create equations that correspond to the given numbers, changing colours and unlocking trivia along the way.
The charming puzzler offers four kinds of brainteasers you can try your hand at, with the Basic puzzle offering a single goal number and the Multi puzzle offering more than one. The Equal puzzler, on the other hand, challenges you to find the same results on both sides of the equal sign, while the OnlyOne puzzler dictates that only a single answer is acceptable across your whole equation. Ready to put your equational expertise to the test?

Pochemeow
Be as ruthless as you can be to win the trade war in Pochemeow, a minimalist strategy game where making your empire thrive means bringing down everyone around you. Bankrupt your enemies and do whatever it takes to make sure they don't thrive alongside you - you can even lobby for laws that will eliminate any semblance of progress your enemies have just to make sure you come out on top.
Questionable moral choices aside, this cutthroat competitive game also offers a Sandbox mode where you can put your tactical tricks to the test. And to spice things up a bit, you can try your hand at the Calendar mode with new levels you can take on every day.
4
Twilight Survivors
Dive into some chaotic carnage in this new Survivors-like title on iOS and Android. Part roguelite, part bullet heaven shooter, Twilight Survivors offers visuals so explosive you'll likely have no clue where you are or what you're doing - which is totally fine as long as you're having fun.
Choose from nine playable characters with distinct talent trees, as well as 20+ weapons and 20+ skills to mix and match. There are more than 20 super weapons you can wield to take down over 50 types of monsters, and see how long you can outlast the relentless hordes closing in on you.
5
Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Purgatory
Set in the World of Darkness universe, Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Purgatory puts you in the shoes - or paws - of the werewolf Samira as you fight not only the monsters around you but also the monster within. As a refugee in Poland, you'll have to make tough choices that will shape the outcome of your narrative. Given that the decisions you make have lasting consequences throughout the story, you'll need to find the right balance between health and willpower to survive.
The tabletop RPG-inspired title offers an accessible entry into this deep lore, so you don't need to have any prior experience with Heart of the Forest or the World of Darkness to sink your fangs into this game.
