Description
Wooden puzzles have a particular feel even on a screen. Things slot rather than snap, there's a weight to the pieces plastic never quite manages, and you'll notice it within about ten seconds.
Wood Blocks Jam and Block Wood Puzzle 2 are the block-fitting sort, where the challenge is leaving yourself somewhere to put the next piece rather than clearing what's in front of you. Wood Nuts Master: Screw Puzzle is the one that gets under your skin, since unscrewing in the wrong order locks the whole thing up. Wood Hexa Factory! moves to a hex grid, which changes the geometry more than it sounds like it should, and Tap 3D Wood Block Away stacks it into three dimensions.
