6] Aqueduct 101

It’s a jigsaw game where you need to connect pipes so the water can flow from one end to another. The game starts easy and gets tough, especially when you have loads of pipes, and there are conditions where you need to do it in parts, i.e., water flowing to multiple sources. It includes carriers to move pipes when there is space in between and rollers which, if not blocked smartly, will take your pipe to somewhere else.

7] Drainworks LT

In this game, you need to fill in water into another pipe, and the source could be a hand pump, another pipe, or anything else, but the gravity is most tricky here. You can tilt your iPad to change the flow of water because sometimes the pipes are next to each other, and sometimes there is a barrier in between. Apart from direction change, you also use one obstacle, which appears when you keep your finger anywhere on the iPad. It can change water to steam or can act as a blockage. They call it water physics.

This game is different from all the games on this list.

8] We Thieves HD

It is an exciting game where you help a couple of thieves to steal something, and they have minimal time. The game uses physics where you need to open a couple of cages to drop barrels which will move thieves to their aim. In between that, you need to collect gold coins and use bombs to reach the destination.

We Thieves HD

What makes this game challenging is there is not just one thieve that you need to move but can be two, and they can be at two different parts of the level. You have to use the right combination, proper timing, and the right barrels to fire so each can reach its destination.

Levels: 30 | HD Game: Yes | IAP: No | Download (2.99 USD)

9] Geared HD

A straightforward but brilliant game for gear lovers. Every level aims to move all the gears together. So you get two gears at two ends and use a couple of gears and adjust them so that they all fit and start rotating.

10] Tinker Box

It makes you tinker—the best of all physics games, which makes you understand what levels, pulleys, and chains can do. Every level aims to move balls into a basket but to do that. You will have to use a combination of mechanical stuff and fire them at the right time. If you have kids learning about levers and all this stuff, this game can help them visualize things much better.

Tinker Box

Apart from solving the puzzle, it also lets you create your puzzle, which I have not seen in any of the games yet—a must-have.

Levels: 19 +, two more stages are coming soon.| HD Game: Yes |  IAP: No | Download(Free)

11] Monsterball

Time for some fun. This game is not so serious; all you need is to keep the ball up in the air and grab some point. The ball has a rope at one end, so when you tap, it gets stuck at that point, and touch the ball again, it starts falling. So the game aims to stay up as long as you can and collect stars from the clouds to gain speed.

So here comes the physics again. It would help if you made the timing right, i.e., where to pin the ball and where to release it, and understand what centrifugal force is (Back to School!!)

12] Beyond Ynth (Xmas Edition)

This game came out in December and features a bug that finds the Santa dropped a couple of gifts, and he decides to return them. To return the gifts, the bug has to cross different terrains and use boxes to move from one to another. That is where strategy and physics both come into play.

Also, depending on which terrain you are in, hurdles change. So in the icy region, you cannot stay out for long. When you are in the jungle, walnuts can fall and block your game. A unique feature of this game is the rewind button which helps you get back to a certain level back call t undo.

13] Cubetastic HD

Let’s leave physics behind and check the cube-based puzzle game. It is the first 3D High Definition game where you need to move parts of the cub and align them so that you can draw a line between two points. The cube can be rotated around all the axis.

14] Arriving HD

Let’s get back to physics again, but this will be light. Arriving HD takes you to the jungle, where you need to gather the power jewels by moving balls that are either on the wooden plank or falling on it. What is different here is there are no heavy levers here, but you can draw lines to control where the ball falls and how you can block levers.

It’s a bit difficult, and you need to start thinking as soon as the game starts, i.e., there is no prep time here.

Levels: 42 | HD Game: Yes |  IAP: No| Download (4.99 USD)

15] Stripe Physics

Though the game says physics, I would call it Stripe Balance. This game teaches you how to play any game patiently and with ultimate balance. The game aims to bring down the ball from top to bottom by removing the other planks in between, one at a time. So you have to be very thoughtful about which one to remove and how the balance will work out.

16] Spin & Win

This game is very similar to the marble game, where you need to align 5 in a straight line to win. The game uses a board that is divided into four sub-boards. Each can be turned around. You place one checker and twist another or the same board where you placed the checker. This way, the strategy changes, and you can break the opponent’s combination.

17] Make Way

Similar to Arrive HD, this game lets you draw lines to direct balls into a container. The challenge starts when you have more than one ball, and you need to understand “Collision” (Again, Back to School!!). The UI is designed to be sketchy instead of solid lines but still is high-definition.

19] Rise of Atlantis

One of the most popular arcade games where you need to match specific types of and let pass the puzzle piece, which is one of the seven most extraordinary powers of the patron god of the Atlanteans – Poseidon. The app was free when I bought it but is now 6.99$.

20] MineSweeper

Again one of the most popular games on Windows, but it is still challenging for many. In this game, you need to unearth all the mines without blowing them. It is achieved by taking hints from numbers that tell how close the mine is.
