Brickhouse

If you like pastel colours, zen music, and prefer to fold your limbs into a meditative lotus position after your eighth death in as many minutes, Brickhouse may just be the puzzler for you.

You are a dot trying to get home through a maze of misdirecting arrows, doors and blockades. That may sound like the mobile game version of your commute home, but honestly it's not as stressful as it sounds.

Swiping in your chosen direction will move you off your starting block, and once you've swiped there's very little you can do to stop.

Each obstacle you meet around the grid will interact with you in a certain way. A green brick with concentric circles will send you bouncing back from whence you came, while a door marked "1" will transport you to a matching portal.

Your aim is to go from your starting position to the yellow brick marked with a house, collecting the three stars scattered across the grid along the way.

As things get more complicated, a choice of extra bricks appears in a side bar that you can slot into any point on the grid to aid you in your quest to reach home.

There are a few red herrings though, so each move will require careful concentration and pre-planning.

The music is what beard-scratching melody maestros might refer to as "ambient," before straightening their ties and heading to Waitrose to buy some Louis Delaunay champagne brut.

High-brow

With its echoey synth and the occasional "ethereal plinky noise"(we never scrimp on the technical terms at PG) Brickhouse creates a soundscape that simultaneously draws you in and keeps you calm.

The art style is similarly peaceful, all soft blues and greens, creating a strong theme that links each stage together with delicate pastel-coloured threads.

The only downside is the game's brevity. With 50 levels in total, Brickhouse doesn't take that long to solve - but puzzler aficionados will find it's a satisfying journey nonetheless.
