We’re just a few months into the year, but The Art of Fauna has easily become one of my favorite puzzlers of 2025.

It’s all about nature and is both simplistic and beautiful.

Each puzzle is made from stunning wildlife illustrations from the 18th and 19th century by artists like John James Audubon and John Gould. Along with the picture, there is a detailed description about the animal.

There are two ways to put together each puzzle, the image or text for even a bigger challenge.

And for Earth Day, the puzzler has just gotten a great new update. There is a new puzzle pack—Echoes of Extinction. The pack features animals like the passenger pigeon, quagga, and dodo. All 10 of the animals were alive when their illustrations were made, but have since gone extinct.

The update also brings new app icons.

The new game Next Letter is a perfect choice for word game fans of all levels.

Getting started is easy. Each games starts with a randomly chosen letter from A to Z and give possible next letters. Some of those are valid to create words while others are not. When you select a valid letter, it adds to the words and earns points. An invalid word deducts points.

That process continues until a complete word is formed. You can submit the word to head to the next round or try to extend it. The round continues until no further extensions are possible, leading to a new random letter.

As a nice touch, the game is playable without an Internet connection, making it perfect for a long flight or a car ride without Wi-Fi.

Next Letter is a free download now on the App Store. It’s for the iPhone and all iPad models.

There is an optional in-app purchase of $9.99. That will unlock additional themes, detailed statistics, and more than 190,000 words with definitions.

OPUS: Rocket of Whispers

OPUS: Rocket of Whispers is a story-driven exploration game that is packed full of emotions.

Visually, OPUS is beautiful, as the game features hand-drawn artwork that’s packed with incredible detail. While the game is rendered mostly in 2D, it utilizes a top-down perspective, so there’s a bit of depth to everything on the screen. And since the game takes place in the snowy mountains, the color palette is rather muted and gloomy with earthy tones and some soft pastels. Animations are smooth and fluid with no lag on my iPhone 7. There’s an atmospheric soundtrack in the background that is fitting for the overall theme of the game, and the sound effects are rather realistic. Overall, the developer did a great job with OPUS in terms of visual and audio design.

Since OPUS: Rocket of Whispers is a story-driven game, players will be taken through a rather emotional roller coaster from the beginning. There’s a lot of text and dialogue in OPUS due to the narrative, so a lot of reading is involved. However, the story is rather interesting, and it captures you from the get-go, though it does start off a bit slow. I also found the characters to be full of personality, even though the main character is a bit annoying due to his attitude.

The free game is for the iPhone and iPad. An in-app purchase will unlock the entire game.

Finding the objects is challenging due to the packed scenes you are given and the time limit, but Where’s my geek? is a fun hidden object game. It is bubbly, energetic, and has an uplifting theme and story. If you enjoy this genre and like the simple stories rather than the lengthy dramatic ones, this is your game.

If you enjoy pinball games on your iPhone or iPad, then INKS is one you need to check out. This fun game gives you the classic pinball action with a colorful twist.

Each time your pinball hits a color on the table, ink splatters. The colors will be in different spots, with various methods of hitting them, across the different tables. This makes for a truly distinctive pinball experience and if you like the ink creation you have made, you can take a snapshot of it to save or share.

The game offers 100 different pinball tables to play on, each with its own unique design. And of course, there are challenges that are a lot harder than they look. So, do not be too distracted by the colorful canvas you are creating because you still need to complete the table.

Your goal on each of the tables is to hit all of the colors. You will continue getting more pinballs, but cannot complete the table until all colors have been splattered about. Once you succeed, your pinball will retire to its home in the center of the table.

The game is $2.99.

Bubble Witch Saga 3

Although it’s best known for the match-three swapping tile game Candy Crush Saga, King actually made its first foray into mobile gaming with the bubble-shooting game Bubble Witch Saga. And Bubble Witch Saga 3 is the latest in the series.

Bubble Witch 3 Saga features an improved aiming line that allows you to shoot, match, and burst bubbles with greater accuracy. Just tap and swipe to aim and release to shoot. You can also tap to swap the bubble you’re about to launch for another color. As you play, look out for new bubbles as well as new boosters.

The game introduced four special game modes. There’s Owls mode, where you must free the owls trapped in bubbles on the board. There’s Collection mode, where you have to clear all of the bubbles from the board. There’s Ghost mode, where you have to clear a path for the ghost to join his friends at the top of the board. And then there’s Wilbur mode, where you have to go head to head in a boss battle of sorts with the wicked cat and defeat him by rescuing Stella’s bubble-trapped fairy friends.

As you might expect, the game is free with in-app purchases.

It’s a great time to be a Resident Evil and App Store gaming fan. Capcom has just released Resident Evil 3 for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Here’s the official description of the game, which was originally released on consoles in 2020:

A series of strange disappearances have been occurring in the American Midwest within a place called Racoon City. A specialist squad of the police force known as S.T.A.R.S. has been investigating the case, and have determined that the pharmaceutical company Umbrella and their biological weapon, the T-Virus, are behind the incidents—though they’ve lost several members in the process. Jill Valentine and the other surviving S.T.A.R.S. members try to make this truth known, but find that the police department itself is under Umbrella’s sway and their reports are rejected out of hand.

However, soon reports of a grisly “cannibal virus” begin to surface, and vicious dogs begin roaming the streets. With the viral plague spreading through the town and to her very doorstep, Jill is determined to survive.

However, unbeknownst to Jill, an extremely powerful pursuer has already been dispatched to eliminate her.

While you can play the game on the touchscreen, Capcom recommends you use a controller.

Gamers of any age and skill level will definitely come away with a smile after playing The Great Sneeze.

The fun game begins before an exhibition showcasing the work of Caspar David Friedrich. Just before it begins, a powerful sneeze throws everything into chaos.

A trio of friends, Kaspar, David, and Friederike, are tasked with saving the exhibition. During playing, you will solve a number of puzzles while chasing after the Wanderer above the Sea of Fog while he journeys through Friedrich’s works.

The game’s point-and-click mechanics make it accessible to players of all skill levels.

While I was somewhat familiar with all of Friedrich’s work before playing, I enjoyed getting to learn more about the artist and all of his works.

The Great Sneeze is for the iPhone and all iPad models. It’s a free download now on the App Store. There are no ads or in-app purchases.

Sure, it’s easy to see what time it is on your iPhone. But the new app Tinker allows you to customize your home screen with a beautiful watch face that you can design.

The app makes it easy to create a face. You can use your own images to design the hands, background, centerpiece, and more to make it unique. Even if you don’t have any images in mind, you can select from a wide variety of pre-made options in the library.

In just a few minutes, I was able to create a beautiful timepiece for my home screen.

As a fun plus, all of the widgets you create with the app can also be used in the iPhone StandBy mode.

Tinker is a free download now on the App Store for the iPhone.

There is an optional, one-time in-app purchase of $4.99. That will allow you to create unlimited watchfaces instead of the maximum of two with the free version.
