Trick Shot is an indie title from Jonathan Topf, one of the artists at ustwo (the peeps behind Monument Valley). This is also a minimalist puzzler with an element of physics to it, but in Trick Shot you spend your time attempting to get a ball into a box, rather than guide a character through reality-defying environments.

That might not sound exciting, but after having played it for the preview video above, I can confidently say that it's enjoyably stressful, yet oddly relaxing.

It's out September 3rd on iOS, and a little later on Android.
