There are many Brain & Puzzle games on the Android market, but not every intellectual teaser has the coveted “Editor’s Choice Award” from IGN. In this award-winner, help the ever-so-happy Swampy regain a water supply for his bathtub in over 140 challenging puzzles suited with life-like water physics and Retina display graphics. But beware, Swampy’s journey is continuously thwarted by an envious alligator, named Cranky, who is always throwing obstacles in your way – traps, triggers, toxic ooze, and algae.

Disney, the developing team behind Where’s My Water?, has created an addictive, smart, and family-friendly adventurous puzzler that is worthy of your time and money. Disney is also always pumping out fresh updates with new levels, new in-game collectibles, and new evil alligators. If you’re a fan of such classic games like Lemmings and The Incredible Machine, then this app is, figuratively speaking, a no-brainer. And, don’t forget, every drop counts!

Beautiful Widgets is pretty self-explanatory, it’s an app with widgets that are beautiful.  But, the title does little to justify what adjectives should rightly describe this awesomely handy Android tool.  The weather forecast, time, battery-life, and calender has never been this stylish and mesmerizing to gaze at.  This little tool is great; I guarantee that you’ll spend more time looking at what’s happening outside on this app than actually physically being outside.

Developed by LevelUp Studio, Beautiful Widgets was honored by the Android staff with an “Editor’s Choice” award.  It goes to no surprise that this app should be recognized for it’s widely-based customizability; with over 1,000 free skins/themes to choose from, the possibilities and appearances are merely unique.  Also, the 15 stunning weather animations (rain, snow, etc.), realistic Moon phases, and toggle widgets (Wifi, Bluetooth, etc.) are a really nice touch too.

LevelUp Studio is pretty lenient with their refund policy as they offer customer’s a 24-hour grace period to decide whether or not they are fully satisfied with Beautiful Widgets.  So, don’t hesitate and try this app out; if you don’t like it, return it – but, I doubt you will.

Welcome to the world of an adorable green ball of love called Om Nom.  Om Nom is hungry, and in the Android app game “Cut the Rope,” it’s up to you to give him what he ultimately desires in life – CANDY.  Cut the Rope is essentially the 21st century offspring of the late ’90′s hit, Tamagachi; but, rather than just continuously tapping a tiny rubber button for your little monster, you have to travel through 250 levels of complex puzzles to please your baby with food.  So, in the end, your green buddy better respect you for the blood, sweat, and tears that strenuously poured out of your body just to nab him a piece of sugary delight – but, with that smile, you know he does.

This game has respectively won multiple awards, including, Apple Design Award, GDC Award, and Best App Ever Award.  The gameplay is innovative, the physics are realistic, and the graphics are outstanding.  Also, with the Facebook and Twitter in-game integration, you’ll be able to show off your achievements and leaderboard rankings; prove yourself to others that you aren’t a neglectful owner.
