Bejeweled 3	The side modes start getting more outlandish in this one. Big fan of the butterflies one. There’s also a mode dedicated to relaxation. Bejeweled nice to you Release Date: December 7, 2010 Developer: PopCap Games Platforms: Windows, Mac, PS3, Xbox 360, DS, Mobile
Match-three where clearing blocks lets you attack or gives you different resources. It’ll take many, many runs to build up your abilities and escape. Release Date: February 17, 2012 Developer: EightyEightGames Platforms: Mobile, Windows, Mac, Linux	10000000
Dr. Luigi	It’s The Year of Luigi, and there is time for L-shaped pieces. Release Date: December 31, 2013 Developer: Arika, Nintendo SPD Platforms: Wii U
It’s Puyo Puyo and Tetris. Play them separately, or together in a scary mishmash. The plot has characters themed after all the Tetrimino types. Release Date: February 6, 2014 Developer: Sonic Team Platforms: 3DS, Vita, Wii U, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, Windows	Puyo Puyo Tetris
HuniePop	Adult match-three game that was very popular at the time. I'm a little scared to see how the writing holds up but that's a problem for future me. Release Date: January 19, 2015 Developer: HuniePot Platforms: PC
Arika's best Dr. Mario in an unfortunately generic feeling package. Regardless, the endless modes in this game are really fun. Items make for a good wrinkle. Release Date: May 31, 2015 Developer: Arika, Nintendo SPD Group No. 2, and TOSE. Probably Platforms: 3DS Read More >	Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure
Tricky Towers	Stack as many tetrominos as you can without letting them topple. Release Date: August 2, 2016 Developer: WeirdBeard Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux, PS4, Xbox One, Switch

Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido	Sushi has been outlawed and you must fight against the empire to make things right. Connect as many plates together to use as ammo that you throw at your opponents. Might be kind of badass (?) Release Date: June 8, 2018 Developer: indieszero Platforms: 3DS, Switch
Very critically-acclaimed Tetris focused on being a stunning audiovisual experience. Release Date: November 9, 2018 Developer: Monstars, Resonair, Stage Games Platforms: PS4, Windows, Xbox One, Switch	Tetris Effect
Tetris 99	99 players play at once. You can set who you're attacking, and if you take out other players you'll start sending more garbage. Don't miss the upcoming event theme from (Latest Nintendo title) Release Date: February 13, 2019 Developer: Arika Platforms: Switch
Arrange to make crosses of one color. Very stylish. Release Date: October 4, 2019 Developer: FUTURE MEMORY Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux, Switch	CROSSNIQ+
Many mobile games	You can't really talk about this genre without talking about casual puzzle games and how they overtook the mobile market. About every scummy business practice plaguing the medium has the honor of starting in some puzzle game! I don't want to be entirely glib though. I want to see what here stuck so much with people and if there's anything good to squeeze out of it. I don't know if I'll end up making separate pages for individual games, or just talk about them as a whole. Release Date: - Developer: Many Platforms: That damn phone !!
