Hey Vsauce I'm Jake and get ready to...
I need to tell you something...I have a CRUSH!, an incredibly fun and difficult puzzle game.
It has a bit of a tetris feel as you race to clear matching colors before they fill
up the screen. The higher score you achieve, the more power ups you
can unlock to help your game last longer. There are also different play modes like think
and react that will change the way you interact and make moves. It gets pretty hectic pretty
quickly so for something a little more relaxed, try Color Zen
There is no timer, no score, just shapes and colors. The goal is to get the background
to match the border color by throwing different colored shapes together to clear the way for
the one you want. The game gets more challenging as white shapes appear that fill the screen
with whatever color you slapped into it, or black ones that erase the object. Every level
flows into the next making it a beautiful and continuous experience.
The SIlent Age is an engaging point-and-click adventure puzzle game by developer House on
Fire. In it you play Joe, a janitor in 1972 who comes across a dying man in the basement.
He gives Joe a time travel device that lets him go 40 years into the future, to a post-apocalyptic
world. You solve puzzles by going back and forth through time piecing together what happened.
They are currently working on the 2nd chapter to The Silent Age so it doesn't have an Ending...
a turn based game where you have to either avoid or destroy enemies on your quest to
escape each level. As the game progresses you are faced with more obstacles that are
intent on smashing you, and probably will. There is also a level builder so you can create
your own maps, and once you get a hang of the puzzle part of Ending, try the roguelike
section where it throws a horde of enemies at you and, again, you'll most likely die.
But if you make it through all 8 rooms, you'll be the coolest kid on the block...block block.
You have to put the blocks into a straight line which seems easy enough, except the number
of moves you can make are extremely limited so you have to be really thoughtful when putting
the pieces together. The game throws in barriers and different colored blocks that you have
to swap to create a really fun and challenging 240 puzzles. For something with a bit more
dimension try
Monster Cube. Monster Cube is a 3 dimensional match 3 game Every round gives you a randomly
generated cube that you have to solve by moving and manipulating it before time runs out.
You can break more blocks by doing combos and the monsters are just so cute. Look how
cute you are. Ahem...lets get serious with some math in
Sigma12. Sigma12 is another 3D cube game but instead of matching blocks, you have to add
them up to 12. To get a highscore, you have to match your moves up to the rhythm of the
music playing. Adding to this are special blocks like ones that divide or multiply the
numbers, act as bombs, increase the time and more. It is an amazingly fun game and one
that you might spend dozens of hours playing, maybe even
Hundreds. The idea is simple, you hold down the circle until it hits 100. However, this
incredibly simple concept gets increasingly and sometimes frustratingly difficult. If
a circle that's pressed down hits any other object, it's game over. And when you have
a bunch of them moving in all directions, it can get tricky. Some circles are connected
and have to be tapped at the same time, there are spinning blades that remove all your points
and even ciphers to try and solve. As you progress through the over 100 levels, your
finger and brain reflexes will hit
Perfection, a game where you have to slice a shape to fit the given outline. There is
no time limit or cap on how many slices you can make. Each puzzle is randomly generated
so you will always get a new shape every time. There are also a few different play modes
that let you rotate or re-scale a shape to add more difficulty. For something as challenging
as it is beautiful, try this episode's app of the week...
LIMBO. LIMBO was released on Xbox LIve back in 2010, and if you have never played it,
play it. And if you've played it already. Play it again. It is now out on iOS and pretty
much every major platform. In the game you're a little boy who is on a journey to find his
sister. There are incredibly well done puzzles that take dying a few times to solve and giant
spiders who want nothing more than to impale you. LIMBO has a really engaging story, a
beautiful design and is a fantastic puzzle platformer that you need to check out.
Links to all the apps can be found in the description below.
I'm Jake and as always, thanks
for watching.
Snoopify is an app that will greatly improve your life by snoopifying it. Let's take this
photo of Nicolas Cage for example. How boring, but with Snoopify, Nicolas Cage has turned
into Nicolas All the Rage. What a cool guy he is now. You're a cool guy, Nicolas. Oh
Nicolas, you are almost as cool as
McPixel. In McPixel you have 20 seconds to diffuse a bomb and it generally makes no sense
and I have no idea what I'm doing. Hopefully this works Oh come on. What a load of
QWOP, the infamous flash game from 2008 is finally out for Android and it is just as
insanely frustrating as ever. Your goal is to get this athlete to the finish line by
controller every movement of his legs. You can do it big guy, just a little further.
No...no....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
