Spelunky vs WordBrain
Spelunky
Spelunky , developed by indie company Mossmouth Games, is a fun arcade puzzle platformer that puts you in the shoes of an adorable explorer with a bright red nose. In this game, you'll be running through plenty of platform-based mazes where you will not only need to collect as many treasures as you can, but also to defeat any enemies that stand in your way. The mazes are also puzzly in nature since you'll need to circumvent obstacles as well as figure out a way to maximize your profits and collect all the gold you can carry. There is even a damsel in distress that you can choose to rescue or kill, and a shop that you can buy useful tools at or steal from.With randomized levels, Spelunky is a pretty hardcore platformer that contains a wide variety of ways in which your character can die... some of which can be gruesome while others, hilarious! The game combines lighthearted fun with challenging puzzles in a very unique way and this will definitely appeal to fans of platform games like Mario.
WordBrain
WordBrain is a rather intriguing form of word game mainly because unlike most word-finders, this game is very specific as to which words it wants you to find. Getting the wrong words is not at all rewarding. Not to mention, the grid of letters from which you'll be finding your "hidden words" is quite a fickle little puzzle in its own. This is because the effect of gravity applies to the grid. So, if you remove the bottom tile, for instance, the upper tiles will naturally fall downward. This may sound like not a biggie but this drastically changes how the letter tiles are arranged and how you can link up your second word. Thankfully, if you encounter a difficult level, you can always use hints or get a friend to help out.WordBrain is possibly one of the biggest non-competitive word games out there that's actually a puzzle. The game is available in 15 different languages with over 700 levels per language. Sounds like the perfect evening pastime for you? Well, you can download WordBrain for free on both Android and iOS.
