It's funny. Our iPads and iPhones keep us connected to the world -- which is great -- but it can mean that we feel busy all the time. Are you making sure to take some time for yourself? And what do you do when you get those little gaps of time where you can't do anything useful? You check Facebook -- now what? Mahjong Solitaire by Dogmelon is ideal for these moments. The screen is simple, uncluttered. Playing is relaxing, calming. The search for matching tiles encourages your mind to ACTUALLY focus. Look for the free mahjong tiles and eliminate them. It's one small thing you can do each day to help keep your brain sharp, and your mind relaxed. Fun fact: other names for Mahjong Solitaire include Shanghai Solitaire, and Taipei.

A little ramen shop. A warm bowl. Your next puzzle. Ramen Master Challenge is a cozy ingredient puzzle game with a calm atmosphere. Swap neighboring ingredients, connect everything your guests ordered and serve a delicious bowl of ramen. THINK, CONNECT, SERVE Each swap costs a move. Plan your path, work around blocked tiles and complete every order before your moves run out. Connections can turn corners, but cannot run diagonally. Need a little help? Hints are available.
