hocus.

I love the simplicity of hocus and how relaxing it is. The little puzzles get more challenging over time, but never in a frustrating way. Some may say that it’s too basic, but I appreciate the muted color scheme, dreamy music, and the game’s ability to get you to just focus on moving the little cube around to its goal. I love to play when I’m stressed or just want to do something calming. My only disappointment was that I eventually ran out of puzzles. So I’m very glad hocus 2 was released!

This is a nice little game to get enough of a challenge in while perhaps waiting in line, relaxing after a tough day or challenge the kids to stretch their imaginations a bit. Some levels are trickier than others but they’re all quite doable without any kind of hint system or walkthrough. Reminds me of a much more simplistic and less-involved version of The Bridge (which is another great game I’m still waiting for on mobile). A bit of a mind-bending puzzle game. You can tap or swipe to lead the block around. Not sure why another reviewer broke their phone as you certainly don’t need to tap or swipe that hard. Calibration shouldn’t be that intense.
