Puzzle games

Games that reward patience over reflexes.

The puzzle games here are about working something out before you commit to it. Prism Pop is a colour-matching board with a move limit, Gravity Breaker bends each shot around suns to reach a beacon, Bankshot is won by bouncing the long way round, and Cannon Crush asks where a structure is weakest before you spend the iron. Lineflow lets you draw the course yourself and see whether a rider survives it. Sneaky McSneakface and Department of Lost Things put the puzzle inside a story: one is about the route past the guard, the other about whose lost thing is whose.
