1.Streamline

Play on: any device- Phone, Tab or PC

Streamline is an awesome unique indie puzzle game where you have to guide a line from one place to another in a mazelike structure. There are 56 levels but if thats not enough then there's also a computer-generated infinity mode with unlimited levels- so you can play this again and again and again without encountering the same puzzle. With simple graphics and smooth gameplay this is my favorite puzzle game.

1. 2048

Play on: any device- Phone, Tab or PC

Being one of the most popular puzzle games, you've probably heard of this game. But if you haven't its a maths puzzle game where you swipe or use your arrow keys to move the numbered tiles/squares. When two squares with the same number touch, they add up and merge into one. Example 2+2 = 4, 4+4 = 8, 8+8=16 and so on. Remember though that the more numbers there are in the grid the more difficult it becomes. Can you reach the winning number 2048?
