There are plenty of gorgeous puzzle games available on iOS, but GalacticThumb’s new entry Cuzzle is well worth adding to your collection.

It’s an isometric puzzler game, heavily inspired by Sokoban, the 1981 transport puzzle game in which the player has to push crates around a warehouse to get them into different locations. However, onto this formula GalacticThumb has added collapsing floors, switches, and some beautifully minimalist graphics.

Check out the trailer below.

Your goal across the game is to get all the white blocks in position to unlock a portal. There are 90 levels in all, with four unique stages that each introduce a new gameplay mechanic. Things can get pretty tough at times, but fortunately the developers have thrown a lifeline to gamers in the form of an “undo” function designed to help you when you (inevitably) mess up.

I haven’t yet had the opportunity to dive into it fully but, with its calming minimalism, simple swipe-based controls, and relaxing soundtrack, it’s certainly one I’m looking to play more of over the weekend. Who knows? Maybe it’ll even make my Sunday “Awesome Apps of the Week” roundup…

If you’re interested by the sound of Cuzzle, you can donwload it from the App Store, where it’s available for any iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 9.0 or later. Oh, and did I mention it’s free?
