We continue to review the new arrivals most interesting genres that have seen the light of late in the main genres of games for mobile devices, and now it is the turn of one of the most popular, thanks mainly to the Angry Birds, the most successful have been in terms of testing our spatial logic and our ability to calculate trajectory: the physics puzzles. In any case, we have not been able to resist the temptation to include some of the great classics, which always deserve to be remembered not only as a tribute but as an essential recommendation for those who may not yet know them. In this top 5 (+1)In addition, free games predominate, something that is always good news. We leave you with a few of the best games of the genre that we can find in the App Store and in Google Play.
Angry Birds 2
We start with the aforementioned Angry Birds, which inevitably have to head a selection like this, and, although we cannot stop inviting those who have still tried it (if there is someone who has not tried it yet) to give the original title a chance, we must say the most recent Angry Birds 2 It is a more than worthy successor, even though it must be admitted that it was somewhat confusing that it will be presented as the first sequel after so many titles and so many angry birds as protagonists. Regarding the gameplay, we have our usual slingshot, our bullet birds and a lot of structures to shoot down, as always, although there are also some new features to avoid falling into monotony.
Does not switch
Although the fact that the protagonists in Does not switch are Car It can lead someone to think at first glance that it is a racing game, nothing could be further from the truth, since, faced with the challenge of dodging traffic on the way to work, what is going to be tested here is not ours driving skills but our ability to solve puzzles. It is a far cry from the usual formula for Angry Birds-style physics puzzles, but the basis is still, after all, to correctly calculate the trajectories and speeds of the different elements of the puzzle, and it is appreciated, in fact, that it is use a slightly different formula.
Mekorama
Mekorama is another of the great successes of puzzle games of the past year and, although part of its popularity among its users is due to its financing system (it is not very often that we find a free game without the burden of ads and in-app purchases), a lot of credit is also in its simple but neat aesthetic and its well-designed levels. Here we also have a twist on the most common formula in this subgenre, which is the incorporation of optical illusions, in the purest Monument Valley style, although here the protagonist instead of a princess, is a robot.
Brain it On!
Brain it On! It is probably the game on the list that best represents the concept of physics puzzles, and also the one that challenges us with the greatest variety of problem types. In fact, it is a game in which all the emphasis is on the puzzles themselves, without any distractions in terms of animations and stories: we will simply have to overcome the levels that are presented to us, drawing in each one of them the figure that the set is missing to achieve the desired result. It must be said that it is not a completely free application, but considering that we can play hundreds of levels for free, there is not much to complain about either.
Stupid Zombies 3
Stupid Zombies It may not be as popular as the Angry Birds saga, but it is one of the games that is never lacking in our recommendations for physics puzzles (or zombie games) and is, in fact, probably the one that most closely resembles it in terms of to game mechanics, since here the main difficulty is also to calculate the correct trajectory for our shots, although a certain complexity is added because for them it will be necessary to make our projectiles bounce off some surfaces at the same time that we have to avoid that it deviates by hitting other objects.
World of Goo
The extra on our list this time around is Word of goo, another great classic of the genre, which we have reserved for last because, unlike the rest, this is a paid title. The quality of the graphics and the care of its aesthetics and its levels, however, make it well worth paying what it costs if we like this type of game. It is also interesting because the proposal is just the inverse of Angry Birds and the games that have followed in its wake: here, instead of finding a way to destroy structures, what we are going to have to do is create them.
