Scalak
Scalak is a sliding block puzzler. Except sometimes it isn't. And then it is again. It's the sort of game that's hard to pin down - basically you're trying to make a shape from the puzzle pieces the game gives you. No move limits, no ticking clock - it's you, logic, and spatial awareness trying to sort everything out.Simple controls mean pretty much anyone can pick this one up, and there are plenty of challenges on offer too - you're not going to rush through Scalak in a single sitting. While the basic mechanics don't change, there are new kinds of puzzles to try and fathom your way through, and while the game is relaxing, you're never quite sure what it's going to throw in your general direction next.
When we reviewed Scalak we called it "a wonderful, engaging puzzler, that deserves to be played by as many people as possible," and gave it a Gold Award. If you click here you can read all of our Scalak review. Obviously we think you should do that, but really it's up to you.
