We have picked up the following four games. Please check them out!



A puzzle game in which you move freely within a boxed garden stage to reach the goal. You can view the stage from any perspective and solve the puzzle to see how you can reach the goal. The game can be enjoyed as if it were a maze, so even those who are not good at puzzles can enjoy it.



In each stage, the player alternately moves the characters "Nayuta" and "Ayla" to reach the goal (the location of the star). The game is played by taking advantage of the gimmicks in each stage. Sometimes, two players must cooperate with each other. For example, one of you may be the scaffold, and the other may have to climb over the scaffold to move forward. Aim for the goal through trial and error.



In addition to puzzles, event movies are also recommended. The meeting between "Nayuta" and "Ayla" is depicted in a beautiful movie. There is no dialogue, but you can understand the story through the gestures and direction. Enjoy this easy-to-play puzzle.



The classic board game "Reversi" is now a puzzle game for single player only. The rules that everyone knows, where you have to flip stones against stones to make your own, are still in place. Here is how it looks like to play.



The number of stones you can use in a stage is fixed, so place stones to make them all the same color. The rules are simple as they are the same as in Reversi. If you cannot make the stones the same color or there is no place to place them, you will make a mistake and have to start over from the beginning. If you make a mistake in placing a stone, it is possible to go back to the beginning. If you can't solve the puzzle, you may want to look at the hints to solve it.



When you clear a stage, you will receive a comment, which will make you happy for a moment, such as "You are a genius! and other such words that make you a little happy. There are difficulty levels for each stage, so everyone from beginners to experts can enjoy the game. Even if you are not good at reversi, you may be able to become a strong player by playing this game. If you are interested, please give it a try.



A jigsaw puzzle game about Nekonohee, the unfortunate cat that became popular on the Internet. In this title, players look at two parts of a four-frame comic strip and complete jigsaw puzzles of the remaining two parts. The cute Nekonohee and the amusing four-frame cartoons are so much fun that you will lose track of time playing the game.



In the puzzle part, the player selects a piece on the right side of the screen and inserts the correct piece. If the piece is in the correct place, you can treat it as one. The key to the strategy is to fit the pieces by looking at the frame lines of the panels. It is like fitting the pieces from the edges of a typical jigsaw puzzle. The puzzle pieces are a part of the four-panel comic, so the frame lines are the key to success.



When the puzzle is completed, it can be read as a four-frame comic. The content is cute, so please enjoy it. There are 77 stories in total, so you can play for a long time. Please enjoy the unique world of Nekonohi with puzzles.



Windows users will have played "Minesweeper" many times before, and now you can enjoy it on your smartphone. The greatest feature of this title is that there are 999 problems. The problems can be enjoyed by everyone, from beginners to advanced players.



Minesweeper is a simple game in which you open squares by referring to the numbers. The number in a square indicates that there is a bomb somewhere in the square surrounding that square, according to the number. The game is cleared when all the other squares are opened without touching the bomb, while trying to find the location of the bomb. The rules of the game are clearly explained in the application before playing.



Let's start the puzzle!　The low level puzzles are easy to solve because the number of squares and bombs are small. This is a good place to learn the rules of the game and get the hang of it. By the way, it is the hardest problem that I am interested in.



For Lv999 problems, all the squares cannot be fully displayed in the screen, so you have to drag to check the squares. There are too many squares to solve, but it seems to be challenging enough. Why don't you start by solving the easy problems first and let yourself be fascinated by the fun of Minesweeper? （New Samurai)
