Baba Is You

A puzzle game where you rewrite the rules to win

iPhoneiPad4.6372 ratings$6.99

The verdict

Most puzzle games stop surprising you once you learn their rules, and here the rules themselves are the pieces you push around. Words like WALL IS STOP sit on the board, and rearranging them can turn you into a rock or change what winning means. It costs $6.99 once with no in-app purchases and syncs progress between iPhone and iPad, but the later levels can leave you stuck for days.
