Note on the shortlisting procedure: Puzzle games are a different breed, you have games like Candy Crush Saga dominating the arenas. However, it's a big app store, and we handpick games based on quality, art style, fun factor and it's rating, rather than general install base. Not only that, some of the games in this selection that truly push the boundaries of what defines a puzzle game, by melding the genre with other genres.

HearthStone is a simple card game, where you collect heroes cards from the Warcraft games and unleash them on other player's cards in devastating attacks. A game that's well balanced, well presented and humourous game. Insanely addictive especially once you grasp the depth and dynamics.

Price: Rs 300 on iOS
Average User Rating on Play Store: 4.2
Average User Rating on Apple App Store: 4.5 stars
Designed for ages 2 to 222, thats what it says in the description, which aptly describes Hundreds. A game where you have to grow circles until they reach 100, which is a simple premise, but the game heats up as you have to prevent your circles from touching each other. A game that requires a fast brain and even faster fingers, keeping you on the edge of your seat. A beautiful game with minimal graphics that don't detract from the experience.

The oddly named rymdkapsel bills itself as a "meditative strategy" game. Which just keeps the base building aspects of strategy games like StarCraft and Command and Conquer, without the combat.

A game that draws you in with it's simple premise, taking over all your focus and introduces a meditative sort of state with the soothing music.

A haunting experience filled with devious puzzles.
